A psychological analysis of how compliments bring happiness to people

To show mercy is not only to promote a good mood on special days. Obtaining unexpected praise is uplifting, and the compliment fills with light energy. However, it is important to protect against the wrong compliments that can not only work but, in the worst case, cause conflicts.

"If the compliment is adequate, the brain secretes the hormones of happiness," - explains psychologist Eve Vladarek. "A shot compliment is like a cup of espresso: spontaneous, short, inspiring."

Not everyone knows that there is an interaction between the person they praised and the one who expresses a compliment. Mirror neurons in the brain perceive the positive mood of a person. You feel better and form a positive idea of ​​yourself. Regular compliments contribute to your happiness.

"People who like to say good things, focus on positive aspects and push negative thoughts in the background," Vladarek notes. - But it is important to be careful: if words are not serious, praise can be harmful.

Eyes, voice, posture will be exposed if your intonation does not meet what you have said. People have wonderful "antennas" that allow you to distinguish a true compliment from flattery with hidden motifs.

According to the theory of interaction, compliments can also change relationships. The psychologist recommends a simple exercise: make three compliments a loved one daily for a week. This will allow you to discover new or recall forgotten qualities in everyday life.
