Compliments

28 Jan 2008

How do compliments make you feel ,are you the type of person who cringes inside when given a compliment, do you feel embarrassed and dont know where to put yourself or do you feel chuffed and proud to be the recipient. Myself I tend to fall into the first category most of the time and used to be really negative when I was paid them untill one day someone said to me do you realise your being passively aggressive by disagreeing with the person paying the compliment. You know how it goes "That dress suits you".....no I think my arse/ legs/ body (delete as appropriate) looks too big in it. Nowadays apart from saying thank you I have no idea what to say to ppl, I know some ppl return one compliment with another because perhaps they feel obliged to but i find that rather cringeworthy and would rather not do it.

I give out compliments readily but I'm not very good at receiving them (it's the only thing I'm not happy about receiving :rascal: ).
I've been told I have nice eyes and that's about the only compliment I'm happy receiving the rest I cannot agree with as I have poor body image, which I'm sure I speak for the majority in women when I say that.

I love to give compliments especially where anything sexual is concerned!I want the person or persons I'm with in those moments to know just how appreciated and attractive they are!

I'm a giver and not a receiver too, already too self conscious to enjoy having people saying nice things about me. The only time I can take them is by text redface

I used to feel very self conscious and would give a negative response to compliments - which is really, really insulting to the compliment-giver and just makes you look a twat tbh confused

Genuine compliments still make me squirm a bit but I try to say "thankyou" if nothing else.
I don't give compliments easily, either. I think that is, again, a self esteem issue. If I'm nice to someone, I'm opening up and making myself vulnerable .... or summat like that.
The compliments in the chatroom are usually bollocks so I make a joke out of it or agree - "yes, I know!" lol

This is all about self worth really isnt it.
If u can fall in love with yourself its very easy to believe how beautiful you are.
In my experience folk just dont know how darn gorgeous they are. But then once you do fall for yourself u dont give a flying fart what anyone else thinks.
So seems to me compliments are redundant whichever way uyou look at em.

Compliments, I am slow giving compliments so if you receive one you know is deserved.
I can also be slow believing them. I am poor at the social graces, but |I do mean what I say. Just be careful which meaning.

I always used to feel very undeserving of compliments and get embarrassed.
But then I started following the old advice of saying thank you - and it made me less awkward to have a stock reply. And now I have actually started to think - hey, even if I don't agree, at least someone thinks something nice!

i totally agree with what tilly said, i do find them hard at times, but i must admit, since being with my husband, he really brought me out of my shell, 5 years ago i'd never even owned a skirt, now i wear them all the time, i do get embarrassed still though, even if it my husband paying me the compliment

I think, where compliments are concerned, its important to give as well as expect to receive.
Its quite heartwarming to have made someone feel good by giving them a well deserved compliment - but you have to mean it, or it could backfire on you.
My hubby pays me compliments often. I think one of the nicest was when I had no make up on, just got out of the shower and he told me how beautiful I was.
Well someone has to love me dont they biggrin

hee hee

I like compliment's, I don't always take them the right way but I like the fact that someone has taken the time out to think of me in a nice way ( if it's meant)whether I feel the compliment is true or not.
I hope you understand what I meant dunno

louise xx

given half the chance :rascal:
I think it depends on the compliment given, the giver and the context. One person may say 'ppphhwwooaaarrr nice tits' in an extremely condescending and patronising way whereas if I say it to mistress39, she knows I mean it as a huge compliment wink

and Mr Mistress has exquisite taste :twisted:
