I have this thing about when people compliment me. I HATE it. I get angry and frustrated when my boyfriend or my dad or anyone else compliments me on my appearance. Even at prom, when I was all dressed up and everything, I had to force a smile when my boyfriend walked up and exclaimed that I was "beautiful". Is there something wrong with me?
Take it or leave it
I can understand why you hate compliments. It might be because you think that they are lying and just saying that to make you happy. But who knows? They may be telling the truth. And even if they may not be, well, sometimes when you wanna know something about yourself, they can help you. Okay,before I think of saying anything else, I wanna get one thing straight. You can either take a compliment or leave it. You can say bye-bye to your boyfriend's comment "I LOVE YOU" and the compliments that you received saying that you're pretty, awesome and such. But it's your choice. --Posted by serena_johnny 05:24AM EST 05/20/04
There's nothing wrong with you.
There's nothing at all wrong with you. I know a lot of girls like that, and I have to admit, I sometimes feel the same way. But usually, it's only because I'm really mad about something and I don't like people commenting about my appearence or what I'm wearing. But, like I said, there is nothing at all wrong with you. It's normal for a lot of girls. --Posted by zaksangel1411 06:32PM EST 05/19/04
I thought I was the only one
Now that I'm a senior, my parents are always, "oh my baby grew up so fast, you're such a beautiful young lady". It drives me crazy when they do that. I never told anyone about it, because I was afraid that they would think I was stuck up, so I never said anything. But, you have to say something, because holding it in can cause some damage to you in the end. --Posted by lynz04 12:00PM EST 05/19/04
I know how you feel.
It depends...like if it comes from certain guys about my appearance I get really embarrassed even if it secretly makes me happy. If it's from someone I don't know or my grandpa or someone I do know I get kinda weirded out. I'm pretty shy though, and I don't like it when people pay too much attention to me. I don't mind if the compliments are geared toward an accomplishment and not how I look, though. --Posted by violasensation 06:49PM EST 05/18/04
I'm sorta in the same boat
I hate them too. I get all shy and nervous and I don't like the attention. Even with my boyfriend, I can't handle when he calls me hot or pretty or something. I like put downs better cuz I'm witty, so I come back with a burn, so what I think you should do is tell people, in a nice way, that you appreciate the kind thoughts they have for you, but you don't like hearing them because it bothers you, they'll understand. Later gator! --Posted by shannybear37 10:07PM EST 05/17/04
I understand...
...sometimes. When I don't know the person I get sorta weirded out. But when it's someone I know, I just say thank you and wave it off. But if they constantly do it. I get sorta angry. It gets annoying!! That might sound self absorbed, but you're right. I don't really like compliments either. --Posted by iamhyper8290 07:44PM EST 05/17/04
