I'm a Canadian from Vancouver, and I'd say for you that you don't need to restraint yourself on giving genuine compliments. We live in a super-sensitive society, but once in a while smart people will understand how sincere and friendly you are by lifting up the person's self-esteem, so keep being positive and friendly as you are, and you'll attract smart and not-so-sensitive people as friends. For example, I do have a weight loss issue, and hearing comments like that from someone would make my day better, honestly! 🙂
Don't let others silence you because they feel offended. If you are sincere in your comments, then they won't be offended, if they are truly a "friend". If they are offended, they are merely an "acquaintance" and it does not matter.
As an Indian I see that western cultures put a lot of emphasis on respecting the ego in any social interaction. This culture encourages talking with strangers and people with different socio-economic backgrounds than you as both parties involved know that neither party would be insulted in the conversation unlike in most Asian countries. However it also makes society paranoid, like how people got unreasonably offended when you made a spontaneous remark on someone's physical appearance even though you meant to compliment them and sometimes people often just deliberately avoid deep conversations because of the paranoia surrounding egos. In my opinion, if I were in Canada(which I hope I can be one day) I'd start my interactions by engaging in smalltalk with likeable people, and as both me and the person conversing with me get less scared of the possibility of me being rude to him/her or vice versa I'd slowly start conversing with him about deeper topics like you want to . Infact in many western cultures like the UK people get drunk in bars to avoid the paranoia of hurting someone's sentiments and thus have meaningful social interactions and it's an integral part of culture in the UK Wishing you the best!
I totally agree with u. You are so knowledgable and thoughtful. I will apply your comments when i interact people. Thank you so much for sharing your insight💖
