- When your friend drops what they are doing and comes through for you last-minute
I Wish There Was A Way I Could Repay All Your Kindness To Me
If the person you want to say “You are so kind” to is a friend and they have a track record of showing their kindness to you, rather than go plainly, you could say “I wish there was a way I could repay all your kindness to me.”
With a statement like that, you are letting them know that you’d love to reciprocate their gestures as you are getting uncomfortable always being on the receiving end.
When to Use this Statement:
- Your friend helps you while moving into a new apartment

I Have Never Seen Anyone So Generous Like You. I Feel Lucky Always
If the kindness the person has shown you is based on their generosity, probably they did something for you or bought something for you because they were being generous, a perfect alternative to use would be “I have never seen anyone so generous as you. I feel lucky always.”
You can stick to hyping them up about their generosity if they are acquaintances. The second part of this statement should be for people you are quite familiar with or those who have a track record of always being generous.
When to Use this Statement:
- A friend organizes a party for you or pays your bill
- The person has always consistently supported you financially
Sometimes I Wonder Whether I Am Using You Or I Mistakenly Cast A Spell On You. Your Kindness Towards Me Is Incredible
If you’ve ever met a kind person, it is easy to assume you are using them because of how lovely and selfless they can be.
When the person you want to acknowledge for their kindness is a friend or colleague, you could say “Sometimes I wonder whether I am using you or I mistakenly cast a spell on you. Your kindness towards me is incredible.” I am pretty sure it is going to get them feeling butterflies in their bellies.
When to Use this Statement:

I Wish I Could Steal Your Heart. You Are So Empathetic And Kind
I had a friend who was so kind, I felt like stealing their heart. They gave me the inspiration to use a statement like this.
By saying “I wish I could steal your heart. You are so empathetic and kind,” you could sound covetous but then it only shows the level of how kind you think they are, which is obviously a state of the heart. If you want their heart, it shows how highly you think of them and how kind they are.
When to Use this Statement:
- To express your admiration for their kind heart and how you wish you were as kind as they are
I’d Be Jealous If You Weren’t My Friend. Thank You, Ann
This is another way you can make your friend feel appreciated for their kindness. I often tell my friends “I’d be jealous if you weren’t my friend.” I will feel elated when someone tells me they’d be jealous to not have me as their friend.
You can go on to personalize this statement by telling them Thank you and mentioning their name or a pet name for them. If they are not really your friend, you could tell them “I’d be jealous if you weren’t on my side.”
