A friend told me

A friend told me about a text message he received from a friend of ours, basically just paying me a compliment. My friend did not have to tell me but I thought, in a way, by telling me about it was also his way of confirming the compliment. Obviously it made me feel good.

So keep this in mind: if your friend tells you of somebody else saying something nice about you it also is your friend paying you a compliment. And do likewise: when you hear something nice being said about a person and you feel the same, tell that person. It's a double compliment.
