Telling people what they did well, out loud
Usually hardest for: Extraversion low, Agreeableness low
Watch it happen. Nobody else has to know.
Do it where it costs you nothing.
The people and rooms that actually matter.
One from each phase, in full. The rest arrive one a day in the app — the first 7 days free.
Keep a tally today of every compliment you hear anyone say out loud — to you, to someone else, in a meeting, at a counter. A phone note with one mark per compliment is enough. Say nothing extra yourself; today you only count. In the evening, look at the number.
Pick a small business or an independent creator whose work you actually use — the corner bakery, a podcast, the app you open every day — and leave a public review or comment naming one specific thing they do well. Not "great place" but "the seeded loaf on Saturdays is worth the line". Post it under your normal name.
Face to face — or on a video call if distance demands it — tell a close friend or your partner one specific thing they did in the last few weeks and what it changed for you. Both halves out loud: the thing, and the effect. "When you asked twice how the interview really went, I actually told you — and the whole week got lighter."
Before you start you rate these situations from 1 to 5. After 28 days you rate them again, without ever seeing the first answers. The difference is the whole point of the app.
