I do this all the time. I try to do it daily at least 3x a day. It's amazing how many people get uncomfortable at first until they process what you said. Then the infectious smiles come out, and they become so happy, open up, or simply say I needed this today.
People are so self-absorbed these days, and most do not want to connect to others. It's easiest to live a fake life behind a screen than to make eye contact and an emotional connection with others. We, as human beings, need that connection. It's what heals us, helps us grow and learn. It's one of the first things we teach our children as well.
Kindness goes a long way, and it doesn't and shouldn't feel uncomfortable to be kind. If it does, then there is something you're running from to avoid that connection, and you should reevaluate that for sure. Some people can hide their emotions extremely well as a masking or coping mechanism. So when that one simply act of kindness happens. It can literally change the entire day for them. Change their perspective on the day, people, their lives, etc. So make sure even when you're low or struggling to still spread kindness. It'll help teach you valuable lessons along the way.
