Flattery and compliment
I Aagreed to Marcus's proposal to compare the words "flattery" and "compliment". , Actually this issue is always on my mind, I think it's a matter of opinion and I'm trying to write down mine.
Take the example of weight, one that many of us deal with." You are getting thinner", this is a common remark that ladies preface about make to their friends. Thinner or not, people who heard this exclamation remark will cheer up even be back on the gluttony, and perhaps even start to eat less. Chinese women are taking equate slimness for with beauty. If the lady really has lost weight, your remark will amount to complimenting her, or else you are flattering. The laws This rule also works with appearances and dresses. Pray forgive me! I'm a lady, too.
Let's get down to something else. It was jJust now, my jokey coworker asked me if he looked handsome with a beard. "You are terribly handsome!" I replied exaggeratedly. For men, appearance doesn't matter it doesn't matter about the appearance; you cannot judge a book by its cover. I'm surprised someone hasn't had enough of a man who attained manhood cares only for looks like a woman I'm surprised this man cares so much about the way he looks, he reminds me of a typical woman. Do you find him attractive? In fact I flattered him. Why not? I was totally kidding and he was so funny. I didn't mind echoing allowing for his pride him to be proud of his looks. I consider look upon being empathetic cultured as an absolute necessity.
Civilization is sometimes based more on education than innateness. Sometimes compliments are merely out of courtesy. But courtesy is not the same as civilization. I have just finished reading "The Iron Lady". To her face, Margaret Thatcher is respectfully called "Prime Minister". Her arrogant colleagues in suits repeated "a grocer's daughter" behind her back. They do not seem to realize that man is descended from a common ancestor- the ape.
Occasionally we are forced to tell a white lie. The truth is inconvenient, when it comes to senility, disease and matters that are embarrassing, shameful, or intimate.
Proper flattery and the use of compliments will help foster interpersonal relationships. Nevertheless, going too far is absolutely undesirable. They are exceedingly needless for people having self - knowledge. <em>(Sorry, I am not sure how to correct this last sentence since I don't totally understand the meaning)</em>

Great work! Really, that's a compliment - not flattery :-)
Some suggestions and alternatives :-
this issue is always on my mind -> this issue is often on my mind
Pray forgive me! -> Please forgive me (Pray is very old fashioned and would not be used in current speech.
Let's get down to something else -> Let's take another example
