Blue Book Essay
Three very different perspectives on giving and receiving a compliment are stated here. The writer’s of these perspectives are mainly basing their perspective on how it makes each role in giving a compliment feel. Not only if the perspective is meaningful, but if it is a lie also. After analyzing these perspectives, I have contrasted and compared them to my own outlook. “Perspective One” states that to have confidence in myself, I must get it without help from others. Getting a compliment from someone, even if it is sincere, shouldn’t affect how I feel about myself. If I give these random acts of kindness, it can make me seem insecure. Lastly, if I am lying when dishing out a compliment, then I am responsible for the recipient's confidence being based off a lie. …show more content…
Even doing a small act of kindness can boost the recipient’s confidence, because it could be the one nice thing they receive that day. This writer believes that in today’s society, I shouldn’t have to feel self-reliant. Spending more time in a group, and listening to what others think is a good thing.
Lastly, “Perspective Three” is saying doing acts of kindness, no matter if I truly mean it, is putting others first. I need to become more aware of people’s feelings around, because I’m not the center attention. When I live, I should live for others! This is slightly similar to #2.
In conclusion, my perspective is mostly agreeing with perspective three. I think it is important to boost other’s feelings! I don’t think I should have to only rely on myself for confidence. Yes, I think I should treat myself, and think kind things about myself. I think I should only give a compliment if I mean it, or else it shouldn’t make me feel better. It should, at the least, make me feel guilty. I disagree with number one, because I don’t think
