Genuine complements for a depressed guy like me are torture!

When you’re depressed, you get this foggy film over your eyes. It makes it difficult to see the sincerity from people. Your hearing is also all jumbled and muffled which makes the words they say a bit muted. So basically, you don’t trust what you see and hear.

But, just take a deep breath and trust it anyway. The more you do the more the sights and sounds will clear.

Also, friends have this way of not shutting up about telling you that you matter. They will keep doing it until they pull you back to the light. They’re a pain in the ass that way.

I can understand this. I don’t believe compliments directed at me.

Sometimes you just have to suck it up and accept them, hard as that might be.

Someone might see something in you that you don't realize is there, because the mirror we see ourselves in often isn't very good. But that doesn't make what they see untrue.

How about just smiling and saying thank you, even if you have to force it at first. Maybe in time you'll come to realize that they were right and, anyhow, rejecting their sincerely meant compliment, because it's hard for you to accept it, is kind of cruel. Maybe that was the only compliment they gave out all day.

Fuck u, idiot...is that better?

You seem like a genuine laid back dude Popmol.

Same….I can never take praise or compliments.

You suck 😜

You seem like a cool guy

I am sorry you feel that way. You are such a nice guy though, you are respectful and you are sweet.
