I compliment my wife on her personality traits multiple times a day. But not just my wife, everyone in my life. Friends, coworkers, children, pets.
Never, but I think that's alright seeing as I don't have one.
I try but I'm not good with compliments, both giving and receiving them
All the time! Words are cheap and everyone enjoys a compliment, especially those with lower self esteem and a myriad of concerns and doubts. But I compliment everyone when the circumstances call for it, from telling my friends I love their shoes (IDC nor do I have an eye for fashion, but I know they do!) to praising my colleagues, telling them how competent they are at what they do etc etc (it's deserved, plus it keeps the machine running smoothly). If you're mentally agile, have read a book and aren't too consumed with your own insecurities, words should come very easily to you, so don't forget to use them!
I often compliment people on things that stand out, on the assumption that they choose them for that purpose. Purple shoes? Colorful glasses? A vest with patches? Better believe I'm saying something!
I would be worried that this is one piece of an AITA post, and we're missing the key info because you didn't want to share it with us. If it is, YTA.
If it isn't, then ... occasionally, not too often, back when I had a girlfriend.
