One time in school there was an exercise to give us compliments. I felt extremely uncomfortable. There were a lot of girls I barely knew. Yeah if I don't know these people how shall I compliment them? Shall I praise their outer appearance? But wouldn't this be kind of superficial.
I think I am in general not that good in complimenting other people. If I have a crush on someone it is not that difficult because I have a huge incentive and possible reward for it. But some of my compliments also backfired. But even with my best friends I don't feel fully comfortable to compliment them. Especially if it sounds corny. I think this is kind of toxic masculinity. I don't know giving such a compliment feels weak for me. Like acknowledging someone else is better as oneself in a certain skill.
I think the way I was raised was very counterproductive. I could get rid of some patterns of behaviors but some have sinken too way deep into me. (not sure about the translation)
To conclude I have to say I don't know. Sometimes it is difficult for me to compliment other people sometimes it isn't. I don't have much time a deeper analysis. I think it also depends on the environment.
