How to tell if a compliment is real.

Whenever I recieve a compliment I think the person is kidding. I think people think I’m rude because usually when they give me a compliment I walk away. I honestly think they are kidding though, and it actually hurts my feelings. Like when people say I’m pretty I have a feeling they are going to turn around and laugh with all their friends. And when guys ask me out I NEVER believe them, so most get all confused. My friends say I have serious self confidence issues, but I was teased a lot when I was younger. How can I tell if some one is actually kidding?

Answer #1

Don’t worry about it, just accept it with graditude and be thankful it was a compliment and not a put-down. If you worry about whether it was meant in a good way you lose all sense of happiness from it. And in these days and time happiness is harder to acheive then you might think. Peace out.

Answer #2

say thank you, if they’re kidding let them do what they want, dont let them know it gets to you, from what I can see in your picture you are pretty and not afraid to take risks, be yourself and take the compliments, I doubt many are kidding

Answer #3

Sounds like low self confidence… It isnt about telling whether a compliment is real or not, but believing that you truly are pretty (or whatever else they say). I’d say you need to work on your self esteem. The rest will work itself out. You need to believe it first. And then it wont matter what other people think, or whether they’re just making fun of you. You’ll know what your own self worth is and be able to say screw what anyone else thinks…

Answer #4

You’ll find out in time anyway, be gracious and accept the compliment - smile, thank you, move on.
