Is it normal that i never believe people when they compliment my appearance?

I never believe people when they talk.

Its all too common but it's not normal. You probably think your ugly which is why you simply cannot accept people complimenting you on your appearance.

Don't you think its self-centered to believe that everyone who pays you a compliment, is really trying to pull one over you? They are trying to make you feel good about yourself, but you think they are sarcastic and offensive?

Don't get me wrong though, I've met a few crazy people who do compliment people but talk smack behind their backs.

I'm the same, when people say i'm pretty or cute i usually think they are hypocrite or trying to comfort me because of my low self-esteem. I got asked to do a couple photoshoot and i could never do it..it's like i can't believe it. Probably because we all focus so much on our flaws... but maybe it's not as bad as we think.

me too, I think they're lying to make me happy

i feel the same...when someone says, “your really pretty/beautiful” i my face gets red, but when i get home and look in the mirror, im like,“Damn, im so ugly”! but sometimes i think im ugly becuz only my girlfriends say im pretty, ive never heard a boy say im pretty 2 me...except my dad...but that doesnt conut..

You and me both mahdear, But if it's so normal, and we all feel this way, How do we know anyone telling the truth?

I always smile and say thanks, but in the back of my head I'm thinking "shut up, you lying asshole". But ONLY if it's something I'm insecure about.
If somebody compliments a new shirt I just got and love, then I'll definitely believe them.

i am the same way i just smile and go a long with it really

With out knowing your age it's hard to say really. When I was a teenager and anyone paid me a compliment or if a memeber of the opporsite gender tried to talk to me I used to think they're taking bets to see who's first to pick up the dog/munter of the group. I suppose we're all terrified of public humiliation as a teenager. I've thankfully lost touch now with my shy insecure neveous and sobre teenage version of myself, and now when anyone gives me a compliment. I simply say "thanks" as to be dismisive could also be embarrasing to the person who's paying you the compliment. xx

I used to feel the same way.

Then I realized that really, I'm just a tomboy and I'd rather do anything else with my time than worry much about my appearance.

Why would people compliment your appearance as a joke..?! If ppl say you're pretty than you better believe them

I feel the same. Hell, I was offered a modelling contract but I don't find myself "beautiful" but then again,, i used to be quite large as a child. Sometimes events from when you're a child can affect you in your adulthood.
You need to know though, that everyone is beautiful/gorgeous/sexy/cute etc in their own way and if they wanted to "take the piss" outta you, they would just say "fuck you're ugly" and laugh. The End. :)

This is normal. I think a lot of people were like this at some point in their life. For me, I've personally stopped caring about what people say. If you like me I'll be happy, if you don't I won't really care.

I thought I was only one:P
I guess it's more normal than I presumed.

I have the same problem.
