xD It is from him, it's the highest I've ever heard him give anyone. But I think everyone goes through that awkward stage in their life where their self-esteem is at a low and they feel worthless without the appraisal of others, and fortunately I have just surpassed that stage. So, you're being egotistic about being modest...which means you're not modest...and so...oh my gosh, I just found a new paradox. @.@
9.7 is pretty good, this guy obviously knows his rating. You deserve to take compliments like that because, after all, they do boost self esteem which is important. Especially growing up, because I know things were tough 'cause I actually thought I was as crap as people made me out to be :/ I think I must blush a lot, I'm not entirely sure xD I like to joke around with friends though, about how I 'pride myself on being modest'
Oh good, I've been trying to pull that off. There was a time in my life where I would vigorously deny any compliments but I've moved on from that. I mean, the other day I was talking to my guy friend at camp about girls and he brought up how he had a rating system so I asked him casually what I'd be and he said, "Oh, 9.7., for sure." And instead of being all "NO I'm more like a 3.2" I actually took the compliment. With a blush. Blushing usually shows you're not being egotistic! And you definitely don't come off that way either, in fact I think you're really humble. Which is a good thing~ ^^
Well you haven't given off the impression you're fishing so you're doing well. I guess keep it up! It is one of those really hard things that we just struggle to figure out :/
Muchas gracias! If only the stupid guys I pursue would realize that. Dx But I agree. I feel like if I don't take compliments it'll look like I'm fishing for them and if I do take them then people will think I'm egotistic and the like. It's just so hard, you know? :/
Yes, that is true! I can't quite explain it but I'm sure you understand -- cute girls just are nicer. They're the ones you go after when you want something decent, enjoyable, fun! You definitely look like dating material my dear (and act -- you're way mature for your age! It's awesome :3). I still worry too much about having an ego so I take compliments the same way I take insults -- not at all
I know, and I'd rather be cute than hot, I feel like I get more respect that way, if you know what I mean. And don't worry, it's not ego if it's true...xP
A lot of girls flip out because they don't want to be cute, they want to be hot (urg I actually hate that word) but being cute doesn't have to be independent. You can pull off both! Aha, I'm pretty bad at taking compliments myself, but I will admit I seem to have a boyish sort of appeal. I did feel kinda sexy in the last photos I posted though /ego
Aww, thanks, I don't mind at all! <3 instead of being all "NO I'M NOT CUTE STFU" I'll just accept the fact. xD (psst....you're quite a looker yourself, if you don't mind me saying! :P)
Well that does happen, yeah. Hormones are just horrible, messes with everybody Camps usually end up with loads of people getting together and a camp that long probably had loads of people getting rid of the other person btw I forgot to mention in the picture thread but (plz forgive this) you're looking all grown up and stuff I don't want to annoy you by calling you cute or adorable but you kind of are
