Do you agree with this Moldovan girl describing her experiences living in Canada that there's still a big difference between Europeans and Americans regarding their willingness to compliment others?

  Attractive, young, successful, white woman receives compliments and extrapolates that to describe 1,000,000,000+ people

  In Western European and I don’t recognize the mindset that she describes. I do feel that generally Americans tend to exaggerate a lot. When something is considered good here we just say it’s “good”, Americans will say “it’s so awesome you can’t believe how great it is”, which to me comes across as annoying and dishonest.

    I live in America and I agree with this. It especially annoys me because people say stuff like that then never talk about that thing again. If you really liked it as much as you said you did you’d get one for yourself, eat it more often, etc. But no. It’s one and done.

    I don’t exaggerate my compliments. Nor do I compliment out of obligation/politeness. Which means I don’t give out many compliments.

  She’s assuming her own issues are the norm.

  Compliments that cross classes are harassment.
