Do you like getting compliments? (1 Viewer)

[centen]

When it feels sincere, then yes!

My mom tells me that I look cute every single time I see her, even if I'm wearing stained sweats and my hair needs brushed, so it always feels fake.

 

[Villains]

not always but it really depends on what kind of compliment and who it’s from

 

[Skorge]

When they are unexpected and sincere, yes.

 

[litc]

I like it! Its always nice when someone says something nice about me

No, if it’s something I know I’m good at if people compliment me I’m scared of becoming arrogant so I prefer criticism

if it’s something which I don’t deserve or isn’t rlly true I feel guilty

and otherwise it just makes me shy

sometimes it’s nice occasionally and does make me feel appreciated tho

 

[Tiaramitsu]

Yesss, it feels nice

 

[athenaaa]

It makes me feel weird and I assume they’re lying

 

[x_x]

depends on the type of compliment like id rather get complimented on the stuff i do rather than a direct compliment about myself if that makes sense
the latter makes me feel incredibly weird lol

yes ofc, you would like to hear "wow that cake you made tastes great" but not "wow you have such a pretty face"

I'm not overthinking? Not for compliments. I just know that I have a tendency of getting a big head sometimes, like let's say I do something smart, and a bunch of people tell me I'm smart, I'd get a big head about being smart or think I'm smarter than others (internally, not treat people any worse), and that's a problem, so I'd prefer to avoid it. Especially because one of my greatest fears is becoming complacent, so I always want to continually improve and learn and have that hunger rather than be completely satisfied. Especially because when you are blinded by pride, it's a lot easier to be oblivious of flaws.

Like if I do something and I'm really proud of it, and then someone criticizes it, sure it hurts a little, but that criticism helps me to do even better next time, and it's better than if I just continued thinking it was great and making a fool of myself, rather than being realistic, having an inflated sense of my skills or an inflated sense of self worth

I'd rather be humble

For something I don't deserve, if someone tells me I'm so responsible bc they think I was productive for 5 hours, and I was only productive for 2 hours, it's of course not true and I'd feel guilty.

And for them making me shy, it's not really overthinking, I'm just shy lol

The act of giving a genuine compliment and positive reinfocement is one I appreciate tho, but do I look for them, usually no

A thank you, or I appreciate you, if that counts as a compliment I do appreciate tho bc it makes me feel appreciated

In those cases heck yeah, that's better than not saying anything

Or a compliment after I do something hard or wtv that's nice

 

[eclipsoul]

yes

 

[ani07]

I generally like it, but I usually dont show it.

 

[butter]

Of course! Especially if it's from people I care about. Though sometimes I do get embarrassed.

I see your point, especially for getting blinded by pride and overlooking flaws

Thinking you are smarter then others is not bad per se (when it is true), as long as you don't think you know everything better and disregard any input you are getting from them

Also I think you are not making a fool out of yourself for thinking something you made is great, even if it gets cricitzed. It can still be great, even if it has flaws

Ah but let’s say you’re level 5 and think ur great you can’t go to someone level 20 and tell them you’re great

As long as you are aware of your level, you won't make that mistake, but there is alsom no need to downlpay your skills

That’s why I need the criticism, to be aware of my level
