There's nothing quite like a forced compliment is there?

you have to take what you can get
you of all people know this.

It's ok, I generally dislike compliments.

How do you know you dislike them?
You shouldn't judge til you've actually had one.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 16:53, Reply)

I don't like the thought of them.

I like how Something has a capital S
like it's srs bsns
Even if it was a typo, it's a very appropriate one
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 17:03, Reply)

for Very Serious Bsns as you say.

I approve.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 17:06, Reply)

I'm not very needy,
I find them quite embarrassing.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 17:00, Reply)

I don't think it is needy to enjoy being complimented
desperately seeking them out, perhaps, but not just taking pride in having something good about you or your actions commented on.

the embarrassment thing is fair though

yeah but if it never ever happened to you
you wouldn't know how to react either
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 17:05, Reply)

It's funny how you're all saying I've never been complimented
but everyone in the subthread has complimented me before.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 17:06, Reply)

also, I believe in giving praise where it's due. There's too much bitching and putting people down as it is. If someone does something good then I'll tell them.

I do know the feeling though
compliments make me uneasy

"aww, everyone else has one...*sob*...DIDN'T WANT ONE ANYWAY, DON'T LIKE THEM" *tantrum*
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 16:59, Reply)

everyone else has one
something about tidying up
(PsychoChomp, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 17:02, Reply)

even when what he can get is
NOTHING!?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 16:53, Reply)

now now, vipros
frenetic masturbation isn't entirely nothing.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 16:56, Reply)

Well it has nothing to do with compliments,
which is what we're talking about.
pay attention.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 16:57, Reply)

some people eh?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 3 Nov 2010, 16:58, Reply)

it most certainly has
if it's the only way you have to make yourself feel good. (ie it's all you can get, but it's better than nothing.)

christ even when i stick up for you, you are mean.
