Do compliments make you feel uncomfortable?

for me it depends on what compliment is given. if it's something that is easy to perceive and is had by many others, I won't be especially flattered, like handsome or fit or nice or good. If it is a quality in me that is subtle and hard to see immediately i will be immensely flattered, such as wry, spiritual, observant, objective, or having multicultural leanings. And when I compliment others I try for the same: I don't mention things they probly hear all the time but wait for a more underlying trait.

As for compliments on looks, I'm one with the perspective of having been not-so-hot earlier in life but have become more attractive in recent years. Before I was frustrated at not being sexy and thought it'd be nice to get a lot of looks from ppl everywhere I go because they like what they saw, but it's really not so great. it's annoying and I get selfconscious. I don't like that attention

 

yes, they do

well, if its on something im wearing, not so much. because thats somethign ive picked out, not something i was born with. being complimented on things like my eyes is, well, awkward. even from my fiance (though not as bad with him as with strangers), i get all squirmy and dont really believe them. i once had one of my moms friends stand me in front of hte mirror and spend like 20min telling me all the things she loved about my body and its shape because i didnt take a compliment well from her >.>

i dont really believe people when they compliment me on most things... though now and then i do get a total reversal of that and decide weird thigns like that i have better lips than angelina jolie. humble, i know

 

depends on who the complimenter is, I suppose.... I like getting compliments from cute boys

 

I NEVER believe guys. I've had too many guy friends that have laughed at how easy it is to get into a girls pants by telling her that she is pretty.

Oh I smiled when my friend George told me that I was beautiful at prom. I smiled because his girlfriend elbowed him in the ribs.

 

ya guys are sweet talkers. I'm just saying though, I'd rather be complimented by a cute boy than by a creep who works at 711 and tells me he wishes I came in more often to see him.....

but yeah, deep down I definitely have an insecure side that doesn't know how to act upon receiving compliments. oh well.

 

I am not uncomfortable with compliments, and when someone comments on me or my appearance or anything else about me, I always just say "thank you"

 

i glow and blush. but complimenting me when i manage to say something smart is the BEST.

 

depends on five or six variables.

 

Which are?

 

1. no one cares
2. he can't remember
3. he DOES remember no one cares
4. they're ugly
5. they're stupid.

 

I agree. It makes me feel uncomfortable when people compliment on my looks. That sort of thing has never been of big importance to me.
Of course I like to look half decent, but I don't really ever dress to impress.

If I do get a compliment I don't really know how to resond since I'm not quite used to getting them. Most of the time I just smile, say thank you, compliment them and then change the subject.

 

If it is from an attractive young woman, then fine. 50 year old man, not fine.

 

yeh i never know if i should be returning it or what...

i dont think i trust ppl who give me compliments

 

ruski, you are the hottest, most intelligent, funniest chick on here.

 

Hey baby, you look beautiful today. I like your new hairstyle and that cute little blush on your cheeks makes you look so edible.

 

uhh.. thanks *shifty eyes*

you are so hot and witty yourself. seriously, i dont think ive ever met someone who had the complete package like you do. i mean, wow.

 

I like insults better, they take more time to create and make me laugh, even if they mean it (which is basically all the time) and they warm my heart so...

I like when people compliment either my weirdness or my humor...Or my cool factor which is a level 5,436, highest level ever....

 

I am exactly the same. I was raised with only criticism, so I always think people are just saying nice things because they are trying to be nice. (ie lying)

I am still waiting for praise from my father. Freud would have LOVED me...

 

I have a suggestion.

"Thank you." (and PAUSE)

You owe them nothing.

 

Compliments are ok..I dont give them anyway unless I mean them, so it really ticks me off when the person i am complimenting acts like that ^
