    Most of the time people have good intentions in their compliments, however sometimes foot in the mouth disease is prevelant. take the complments the way they are intended. You look good, You are pretty, etc.

    I think what happens is people will just talk without thinking about how that comment will affect others. :-/

    Right, I think calling someone a butter face is more desirable. I mean at least you know they are taking care of themselves.

    i don't have the compliment problem......i just have the rude people that are like "i eat from a smaller plate so i don't gain weight. you should to". i get the RUDE RUDE RUDE people..........but i may be more biased since it is my dad's wife...and i have NEVER cared for her!
