thin and pretty.

They get down on themselves? Hmmm… What do you say to them after they compliment you? Just a “Thank you” or an “I know”?

Jeez… Im always happy to get a compliment. Just be grateful

just be happy that there complimenting you and just ignore them if it bothers u

Try this - ‘Being Gracious’ - meaning: exhibiting courtesy and politeness - towards an intended compliment.

Take a step back and remember, there are millions of people who wish they were in your situation, because they are constantly reminded that they arent.

I got that problem too kinda sorta not on the pretty part because I really dont care if people call me pretty but yah when my friends call me skinny it makes me feel bad too…just ask them to stop because it makes you feel bad because you feel like they are kinda sorta angry with u (how it is with me) but if they are your friends just be like “can you stop calling me that it makes me feel weak” or something around those lines

Well, first of all you should try and see that they aren’t trying to offend you. People are capable of appreciating that which they either don’t have or want. The natural way to approach those things is to comment about them. I can understand though where it would annoy you.

You should kindly tell people that you don’t really enjoy comments about how you look and that it makes you uncomfortable. Overweight people don’t necessarily enjoy being told they’re fat, and it’s certainly normal for thin people to constantly be reminded that they’re skinny.

it’s not that I’m spoiled. I was but I grew out of that. its the fact that when they compliment me they get really down on themselves. it makes me mad to see how much they dont like their own bodies and it makes me mad for making them unhappy. and the person above me if right, you dont call fat people fat dont call skinny people skinny.

Start dressing dumpy. Cut back on the hygene. They’ll change their tune soon (maybe). Or serously, tell anybody that calls you pretty that you are self concious about it. Maybe return the compliment? (even if it is a lie) You asked for advice, and this is what I have.

Compliment them so they think they have a good appearance and dont say that to you as much

ok now you’re just being stubborn. when somebody calls you pretty, you should be gracious and maybe return the compliment. you sound a bit spoiled to me.

I always say something like ‘thanks’ and give them one in return. I never say I know, thats so mean!! you should be grateful I guess. but I’m not. I’m tired of it.

I wouldt be grateful at all, obviously your friends think you need to be skinny to be beautiful, so there probably just wishing they were all as skinny as you. and skiiny does not ewual beautiful, anyones and everyone can be beautiful, you just need to be confident with who you are and what you look like. just tel your friends thanks but also say something like , you dont need to be skinny to be beautiful you know, your all beautiful in your own way

Same thing would happen with me. Just simply say ‘thanks”, and soon they’ll stop. It’s not like they’re saying it to make you feel bad..

Umm, dont worry bro… I saw your pictures and your not like, amazingly hot. So dont worry about it… they’re just being nice :)

Flipping heck I wish I had that problem :P but it is quite sweet that you dont like people lacking confidence in themselves. Just try to make your friends feel attractive, maybe compliment them if they look nice even if they haven’t said anythign about your looks that day. But don’t feel guilty for being pretty, be proud :)
