As a Libra Asc I think when due,a compliment should be given. Sincere,truthfull compliment. It is Libra's little way of standing up for all things beautiful.
However,Libras are also popping machines when it comes to compliment giving. But,ultimately,I don't think it is in bad intention they choose to do so. IP: Logged |

i am a Libra sun, with a stellium of 5 other major planets in libra. i give compliments a lot to everyone, but in recent years i have toned it down based on negative reactions from others. although i am being very sincere others have said it comes across as 'fake,' 'too sweet' and 'too nice.' they take me to be a pushover, especially men. i feel sad inside when i cannot say nice things to people so it's a bit of a bummer from my perspective. but, i recently hooked up with a man with his moon in leo, so i can give him compliments 24/7 and he's happy, which makes me happy too :-)IP: Logged |

people are more sentitive to honest compliments than we tend to think. Myselft tend to make lots of compliment (AC taurus, south node in libra).I got annoyed though when i perceived lack of honesty, but i can easily distinguis an honest compliment from a manipulative one. i hate when people say "than you for your hard work" because it sounds too cliche, but i am happy when people compliment me for appeareance, work well done, etc if it sounds genuine. i would not worry too much about being perceived as manipulative. most people will noticeyou are being genuine. the rest, need a mental institution.

This is pretty much how I am. Mind you all of my compliments are calculated and intended. I often make it because I feel like if I don't I will cause a problem. When I am feeling in a very good mood though then I will dish them out all over, mostly to people I don't know. IP: Logged |

I don't necessarily agree that there's no reason to be rude - honestly sometimes people are asking for it - but I think in general if someone hasn't done anything to you, you're just an @$$hole if they ask you about their hair and you tell them it's awful or start trying to instruct them on how to style it. What's weird to me in this thread though is how people keep saying 'truthful compliments are okay', as though they're implying by default that Libras don't give truthful compliments. I think that, like the other Venus said, it's just that we see the positive more than the population at large, and tend to be quicker to mention it. But then the rest of the world sees Libras constantly giving compliments and because they're cynics, they assume that we're seldom sincere. IP: Logged |

I *love* giving sincere compliments to people. I always see the good and beautiful in people. I'm an optimist by heart and like to make people feel happy and good about themselves whenever I can. But I'm also very careful about the things I say. I grew up around toxic and negative people who have a talent of turning everything positive into something negative. Growing up around these people made me feel very conscious about the things I say, I hold back a lot and I usually only give a compliment when I know for sure it cannot be taken badly. IP: Logged |

great thread!!!i have libra sun and mercury and i love to compliment people even about the smallest things i like about them cause in a way when i compliment them i make them feel good and in a way make myself feel good  but sometimes people might think my compliment are "fake" and made just to cheer them up or get something from them BUT ITS NOT TRUE! i think some people take my compliments that way cause i come off as someone who is cold and intimidating at first sight...... only people who get to know me can see my deeper warmer side ------------------
