There really are not many things that frustrate me, but there is definitely one that stands out, especially at this age. One of my greatest pet peeves is when I give someone a compliment and they do not take it. Being a girl, I understand that we are self-conscience about literally everything about ourselves, but if I give you a compliment, you better take it. It is a shot at whoever gives you the compliment. This is how it usually goes down:
Me: Oh my god Becky, your hair looks amazing today!
Becky: Ugh, do NOT even joke with me Cat. I look like someone literally took a shit on my head.
(Dramatized situation)
Okay. I don’t know about the guys, but girls, you know you have all done this. I can admit that I have done this, but there was a point where last year, I learned better. I learned this lesson from my last boyfriend: Confidence is key. Confidence is beautiful. It’s amazing what you learn from relationships. It is an ugly thing to constantly knock yourself down like that, especially the beautiful girls. Honest to God, I have a friend who is a shorter version of Megan Fox. This description instantly gives you the idea that she’s gorgeous, right? The only downfall: when you give her ANY type of compliment, she turns it down. WHY? I am going out of my way to tell you that you look beautiful. You know you are gorgeous, I know you are gorgeous, why don’t you just take it and believe it?
i often do that as a girl... but you are right that Confidence is key! It is what makes you stand out. I agree that Confidence is beauty!
ReplyDeleteI find myself doing this occasionally, and you're totally right- it's not because I look like someone took a shit on my head, it's because it's hard to have confidence in yourself.
ReplyDeleteI guess people may do this in an attempt to be humble or modest. But I agree, its polite to accept someone's compliment and you should have more confidence in yourself.
