We should not feel shy about padding people on the back and telling them good job. And when people do that to us, we should show great appreciation so that they can do to others. Ofcourse as you mention, all our good works should be for the pleasure of Allah (SWA) first and foremost. Some time Muslims are eager to criticize and point out each others errors and feel bad about padding people on the back. So it cause people to have low self esteem and it makes it seem like they are never right because only their bad behavior is recognized. We are humans and our psychology needs positive affirmation. So telling your friends you care and think they are smart should be encouraged. Part of humility is to show gratitude to people who offer you compliments and do recognize you.
