Oh, I'm terrible at buttering people up.

I just can't do it. I say what I believe in. If I give someone a compliment, it's from my heart.

But if I don't believe in it, it's SO hard for me to flatter someone... I'll try and be quiet and not too verbal about my opinions but I can't flatter 😆

Maybe that's why flattery doesn't work well on me either.. 😆

As you all know..sometimes we need to butter up people to get things done from them...😉
it could be anyone your family members, friends, teachers, boss, colleagues etc..
So do share here
- How good you are at buttering people? Not too bad, Im not subtle enough though lol
- Different ways in which you do it for the following :
Parents.. do chores without being asked, then ask my mum whilst she's watching her favourite serial, with a big smile on my face 😃
Friends.. compliment them, but only as a joke, they'd know anyway and usually they'll say yes .. say pretty please a lot too
Colleagues
never had a job
IF members / DT members lol I dont think Ive had to butter anyone

- And how successful you have been? Any personal experience thats worked well or didnt work at all?
it usually works, especially if I do somthing for the person first
no point saying fake compliments bcos people will see through them

Also you can come up with out-of-the-box or creative ideas to make this topic interesting...😉😆
lol buttering teachers is a big no-no
once my friend tried to butter up my english teacher 2 get a good report, by saying how pretty she was, and how much he liekd her new haircut etc
she played along for a while, then sent him out of the room where he got seen by the headmaster and had to explain why he'd been sent out 😆
