I mean, if you're grossed out by someone's inappropriate "compliment" - obviously all bets are off

But a sincere compliment from a friend? Isn't it easier to just say "thank you!" than all that himming and hawing and false modesty about how it's not really all that good?

look bitch

if you're being delusional

better i tell you than a random stranger

If I tell you your violin recital was AMAZING and itzhak perlman better watch his back ... ok, then yeah

but if I say I like something you made, and you SHOWED everyone? then it's just annoying

yeah i get your point

but rly it's less about you than it is about someone's self image

i only just realized that right now as i was thinking about this plurk

like if someone thinks their shit is shit that's them projecting their own feelings rather than rejecting the compliment

tho yah, annoying

my shit is shit but if you tell me it smells pretty imma thank you

lmao gretch pls

right but, why show it then, only to shoot people down that like it?

(not you Gretch!)

i can still be proud of my shitty shit ok

it's a dumpster fire... but it's MY dumpster fire

LOL

other people can like your dumpster fires, too ... just sayin

that's how i felt with like every hairstyle

i knew people would say wow gr8

but they weren't wow gr8 enough to buy it so do they REALLY MATTER

LOOOOOOOOOL

plurk was like def not my customer base but i still posted

so they can't like it without buying it? cuz something can be well done and still not be for me

just sayin

i didn't say they didn't like it

i said they weren't fucking feeding or financing me so why do i care what they think

THAT'S RIGHT BITCHES I HATE YOU ALL

im crying

LOL

GLAD WE GOT THIS CLEARED UP

LOL

no but real talk

TOO LATE THAT WAS PRETTY REAL RIGHT THERE

the ultimate goal is to get peopel to buy it

so if they don't like

it feels like they just said words

ok back up - i wasn't talking about sales, I was just talking about compliments

i know but

i ran with my train of thought

ALICE YOU'VE DERAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME UNTIL THE NEXT TIME

LOL

I'M JSUT SAYING AS A PERSON

WHO CAN'T TAKE COMPLIMENTS

THAT'S WHY

I'M JUST SAYING GET OVER IT AND QUIT IT

like my psychology behind it

it feels fake

even tho i know it's not in my heart of hearts

Do you really think it's false modesty and stuff? Because if so, then yeah that's annoying. But then why is this person a friend and why are you wasting sincere compliments on them.

SHOWER THEM ON ME INSTEAD.

DOVE YOU ARE A GREAT VIOLINIST

yeah there's a diff between phishing for compliments and expressing your low esteem or whatever. aka the point i was ORIGINALLY trying to make

before i derailed

also i wasn't sure if you meant people who are like 'i know' at first like me apparently

i don't even know what we're talking about any more

and it's my plurk. go figure.

LOL

mission accomplished i guess

nice job

THAT WAS A COMPLIMENT TEST OK

i know

one time DTS had something rezzed that I made years ago and I saw it and told him to delete it and he got upset with me

gross, she has so much better ones now

UGH THAT WAS BAD

see i can get behind that

floorplanSL: you insulted 3 people in one fell swoop ... YOU, ME, and the PERSON WHO RECOMMENDED I DECORATE WITH THAT COUCH

because who wants to be reminded of how shit they were years ago

LOL

that's one way to look at it i guess

however idk that's got to be some kind of record

well, she's good.

excellent at insulting people

good job tegan

she's usually pretty nice, unless you're a snake

then you have to go.

floorplanSL did the snek-b-gon work?

YEAH!!!

Felickity: lol IS IT?

Agreed! This annoys me too!

Felickity: I had no intention of naming any names

Wonder what compels people to do that.

lyrpop: people are funny and adorable and imperfect and I don't know either but oh well.

This was really all just a ruse to get mechadollie to admit her disdain for everyone (except Kelly and Andrew, apparently)

compliments definitely don't affect how we feel about ourselves. and you were just being a butthead and not being serious, so turns out this plurk wasn't REALLY 100% about you. SORRY.

Compliments have changed how I feel about myself before. Why can't they?

Magic 8 Ball: Ask again later.
