Do you believe people when they give you a compliment?

I don't
Nettle · F Best Comment
Hell no!😨

I assume that either it's some kind of code for [i]"you have a smear of something unmentionable on your face,"[/i] or that they're seriously unhinged!😖 Or maybe they've just lost their glasses ...😉😂😓
Nettle · F
Um, no ...😒

Can't you just talk to people normally? Does a conversation about the right type of primer for gloss paint, or the weather, or which is the quickest route to Rome, [i]really[/i] need to involve any kind of compliment??🤔

@elspeth: precisely. I am kind of distrustful of people who use compliments a lot

@Adelh91: Thanks for best answer😊

It's a shame so many of us feel so distrustful of compliments... SOME are genuine, but unfortunately, we didn't get this cynical without good reason😓

I have always struggled to accept praise. I have imposter syndrome, quite a common thing. I always think I'll be caught out and if praised they must have bought my deception

I used to not believe them, but they don't stop now, so I do. I won't assume all those strangers were just liars

@Adelh91: Wow, you're bitter. Should I assume no matter what that a compliment isn't genuine then? A stranger calling me beautiful with no response and nothing in return from me must be for their emotional benefit 🙃
Nope. I'm gonna take it. I know it's true anyway. Even if it were someone who kept talking and tried to pick me up, that's still a compliment on me.

@Feature: ok I don't know what you're talking about any more. I have had a lot of experience with people who throw compliments around in hopes to get them in return etc. Whatever though

@Adelh91: I'm referring to people in passing, and males.
Those people sound disgusting. I don't allow those shallow, fake types in my life

It depends.
Sometimes from people I am close to, its sincere.
Sometimes its with a pinch of salt, from strangers but not fully insincere. They just get flamboyant with their words.

sometimes guys just give it to woman to get lucky

but what if it is true .....mostly it is but what if u want to make a good impression and get into her panties and after that if both parties want to then try and make it work

@wudifu: I don't want to know that kind of man
wudifu · 46-50, M
do u really think if u meet a guy there is no way he thought of getting inside your panties.....all men are like that....they just put a mask on in the first period he knows you ....then if he likes you he would try and impress you and try and make u happy just to have you and then only from there the man makes a decision

I remain skeptical, its not about the compliment maybe its because I am insecure about my looks
AliceMortem · 31-35, F
The same with me really
MrSmooTh · 31-35, M
Well you have one of those pretty faces that I could stare at at a coffee shop
AliceMortem · 31-35, F
Hahahaha,I wouldn't find that creepy at all 😂
MrSmooTh · 31-35, M
lol just don't make eye contact
It always depends on the body language, if you're unsure 😉

Could be flattering

I just think "what do they want?"
