Is it normal for people to constantly tell you you're pretty?

I know this is a really weird question, but it is a serious one. I've gone my entire life hearing people tell me that I'm pretty, but I kind of have always brushed it away because I thought that it was just something people say to each other. Today though, for the third time this week, a guy stopped me on the street and told me that I was beautiful. I'd never paid a lot of attention to it before because I thought it was something all people heard, but I guess it might not be? IDK, sorry if this doesn't make any sense.

    If people say that to u quite oftenly then u must be very hot!! Being Flattered is a nice thing so there nothing to be worried.

    Why question it? You may have something physical going on, but the confidence and self esteem that should hopefully be going along with it is what will really draw people to you! Just don't forget the value of humility along the way.

    wtf! how is this normal? how often do people get called pretty by strangers? not very often. these guys who say it is normal are idiots. do not listen to them! regular people walking down the street at most get a second glance from a person; to consistently be called pretty simply just doesn't happen to the majority of the population.
    you are one of the few to whom it happens. you are an exception.. don't listen to these idiots who say its normal. its not. you are special.

    Yeah it is normal for people to say your pretty. I like it when girls say nice things to me & I'm not gay but don't care when guys say I'm good looking 2. But for a guy to stop you in the street & say it to you is very creppy :-/

    I don't know why 56 percent of the votes is normal. Must be either a lot of fake compliments or lying votes.

    People don't normally go out of their way to holler like that. He must really be special. You get his digits? You might have met "the one"

    From a guys point of view I actually get the male version and people stare a lot too, I f'n hate it . Apparently I'm suppose to be good lookin but whatever it is I wish I could change it to be honest . Spose for you it might be every girls dream but for a guy it's just damn uncomfortable

      truth be told I used to get checked out a lot when I was younger (early 20s). I was in a fashion show and was told a number of times to consider professional modeling (I'm also a guy).

      I didn't take it seriously and felt I was far from perfect. I used to think it happened to everyone, didn't realize at the time that I had a gift. :P

    You should try a reputable modelling agency and see if you can make a career out of it.

    It is something we mothers say to little girls to make them feel good, and a lot of men will say it so that you date them but is is quite possible that you are beautiful - so use it :o)

    Look in the mirror. ARE YOU PRETTY? If yes, then this is normal. If no, then it is not.

    it's only abnormal if they call you pretty but you're ugly-so the world is just playing an evil joke on you.

    but if you are beautiful then some dude is going to feel mighty proud when he gets you.

    reminds me of the time I lost the chance to date this really hot girl from my university. We were getting along really well at the beginning but I got nervous and lost my cool because I was intimidated by her beauty. Then she completely lost interest. *kicks self in the head*
