Compliments

I read it and responded to it. I don't think that all compliments are sincere and that is why I have such an issue with accepting them. I try to be open minded and trusting with people but there is always this thought when I receive a compliment that for whatever reason the person is not being honest. Thanks Mom for tearing down my self-esteem and confidence all those years. *just a touch of sarcasm* But the thing is, no matter if I believe the compliment or not I always say thank you.

Giving compliments from time to time is nice. Especially when you tell it to someone who has a low self-esteem. You can actually help them build up their confidence. I admit, I like getting compliments from people especially from my boyfriend but I get annoyed when I get it all the time. Because sometimes it doesn't feel sincere anymore. I have a feeling that they are saying something nice to me just because they want me to like them. I'd pretty much appreciate it even more when I receive it during a bad day or when I don't feel comfortable with myself. It's not bad to give compliments for as long as you are sincere.

I love to get compliments, I think good compliments really can boost the spirits so to say. I will give compliments where I think it will help or cheer someone up.. It is not nice to give anything negative Lynn-Marie
