I have a friend whom I always enjoy being around because she is so positive and makes people feel loved. It's not so much that she uses certain phrases, it's that she will quickly, readily, and often point out the things she likes about someone, whether they are there in the room, whether it's to their face, or whether they're not around but she's talking about them. She is very honest about what she likes about people. She will say to me, "You are totally rocking that outfit." She will, upon introducing a friend, say "This girl built her own house. How cool is that?" She will, of an absent friend who comes up in conversation, say "He is such a gentle person, really salt of the earth genuine, I love him."

I often feel like a lot of the things we say about other people ends up only being negative, and that pointing out positive things or being overly complimentary can seem like flattery or fakeness, so we don't do it. Having known this person, I have since tried to tell people the positive things I like about them, when I am with them, when they are doing it, and it makes interactions on both sides very enjoyable.
