Is it normal that i sometimes get annoyed if a guy gives me a compliment??

Not that I'm saying it happens a lot. Lol. But if I'm talking to a guy and most of what he says are compliments, I never really appreciate them. Compliments are annoying. Lol. Maybe it's because I never relly believe them, but seriously it's ike "Really? You think because I'm a girl, that's all I want to hear." Or when I'm putting myself down and a guy just gives all these compliments, it's like NO! I want you to just help me accept the ugly or unappreciated parts of life instead of just thinking a compliment will help? I mean I don't want a guy that puts me down all the time. Just helps me get back up when I'm down without making me depend on the comfort of pretty words. Lol.

    Maybe you have self-confidence issues if you can't believe anything nice guys say about you. How would you want a guy to treat you when you're feeling down? As a guy, the only way I would be able to think of to help anyone who was feeling down about something would be to tell them that they are great at that thing.

    For example, if my girlfriend thought she was fat and ugly, my first reaction would be to tell her she was skinny and beautiful, not only because I think it's true, but because I would have thought that saying nice things would be what would make her feel better. What would you want a guy to say to you to help you feel better?

    Think of it like this: if a guy is trying to comfort you with "pretty words", even if you don't believe them, the very least it means is that he cares that you are sad and wants you to feel better. The fact that he cares about you must surely count for something.

    You've just realised a universal truth about men....

    They always tell women what they think the women want to hear :) whereas they don't actually know what you want to hear :(

    Compliments are boring but you just say, "Yeah, yeah, whatever" and carry on.

  • This is definitely normal. I get guys complimenting me when they don't even know me and I'm like thanks but I'm not shallow enough for that too make me talk to yoo sorry :/ I don't say that obv but it gets annoying after a while.

    When I'd say this is normal but not healthy. Insecurities are common and if someone is trying to help, why reject him? Think about this would you really want a person to agree with when you say you're ugly or are putting yourself down? Some people want to help and I don't think you should reject a person for trying to put you up.

    Well its normal, but only because you're a woman. Not being a chauvinistic A-bomb but you are grade A class 1 psycho. You're not being true first of all because people, fucking everyone likes a little pick me up compliment. Two everyone knows women love attention, its like fucking gold to them. three this type of self esteem depth is usually found in teenage girls and girls that can't get over themselves. four, If a guy doesn't show any appreciation to your appearance, chances are hes a shitty bro. Five, if you're that simple minded to think compliments will make you dependent you're way too immature to make anything serious like a relationship.

    So I say get a cat or dog, they dont say shit and they'll love you no matter how repulsive or beautiful you may be, they don't give a shit, So ya blunt and straightforward probably isn't what you're used to but meh (shoulder shrug)
