@leanotfromparis: A compliment? From a stranger? What is this? Some kind of trap? You want money? You want me to compliment you back? Honestly, as a French girl, this American habit felt so weird at first. Because in France, let’s be real: if someone compliments you out of the blue… You think twice before responding. It might be harmless, but it might also come with strings attached. I’m not saying French people are ALL transactional. But let’s just say… kindness isn’t always our default mode. So we get a little suspicious when it shows up uninvited. But here? In the U.S.? Strangers compliment your shoes. They smile at you in the street. They say "have a great day"—and mean it. It’s so simple. So human. And honestly? It feels really, really good. — Are you one of those people who randomly compliments strangers? If yes—never stop. You’re making the world better. And now I’m curious… 👉🏽 What’s one thing Americans do that people don’t really do elsewhere? Tell me below—I’m still learning every day. #livingabroad #movingabroad #lifeabroad #expatjourney #expatlife #expatcommunity #expatexperience #expatstories #expatlife #expatliving #expatlifestyle #expatblogger #loveamerica #françaisauxusa #unitedstatesofamerica
