Don't you hate it when people say........

I hate it when people say to me that I have a beautiful face. Why don't they just say "I am beautiful?" grrrrrrr.

    Because they don't want to inflate your ego any bigger than it already is perhaps?

    Backhanded compliment.

    Even if they don't mean well by saying it, I'd still take it well. It's better to just say "thank you" and shock them than to get upset about it and give them the satisfaction of knowing that their comments made you insecure. Plus, some people just really suck at giving compliments, even when they mean well.

    they're saying you'd be damned HOT if you lost weight!
  • Or when people say, "You look good for your age". Why the, "for your age" bit? :laugh: :laugh:

    When I was walking home from work today a car rolled past me and a man screamed out "Hey, has anyone ever told you that you have a beautiful face?". I did not necessarily think that the man meant that my face was the only beautiful thing about me... though I agree with you that a lot of the time I think people say that and mean you could be beautiful all over if you lost weight.

    That's when you need to quote that beyonce song(I think that's the artist). " Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful!" and then don't have anything more to do with them. not worth your time.
