I was at a sci-fi-fantasy convention for the past three days, and at first I was feeling like my usual ugly self, but then people started asking if they could take pictures of me, and one of the dealers asked if I would model a dress for her, and by the end I was feeling very good about myself.
Ever get a confidence booster from a complete stranger?
Don't you just love it?
Ever give them out?
a few times
I eat confidence boosters like Strawberry Pocky, because I have no self-esteem. Nom Nom Nom!
I am an egomanic, so I love it when people boost my ego... Like this one time... this girl Rye, maybe you heard of her, made me a part of this group called the Cute Boy Luv Luv club... that was a pretty nice ego boost.
It was a unanimous decision between me and Milfy~ ;DQuote:

(See, I sometimes give confidence boosters)
I don't have a lot of self esteem, so it's always nice to get confidence boosters. It's even better when you don't know the person, because you don't feel like they're saying it just to make you feel better.
I can't remember the last time I got one though. :(
Sometimes people think I'm cute or smart or interesting upon first meeting me.
I hate compliments or speculations that I appreciate from strangers becuase they make me feel like I suddenly have something to live up to, and, eventually, I always fail to maintain those expectations, and then there's always the confused, "I thought you were more ..."
Screw you and your assumptions masked as compliments. My character is everchanging.
It's so strange how most of you pretty girls are so hard on yourself and keep thinking you're ugly. :confused:
I can't believe I said that out loud and not in a PM. :yuck:
I kinda feel wierd when I get it from people I don't know.
Actually, I feel more wierded out when people compliment me on the way I dress as opposed to what I look like.
Wierdest one I ever got was that I had nice skin 0.0.
As to giving them out, I give them out often,but only to people I know,lol.
New hairdos and outfits are in need of compliments *nod*
Thats what always gets me too.Quote:

I try to give people compliments because it makes them happyy~
Back in the day, I wasn't very self confident. These days, I'm happy with how I am. It's great.
I give out compliments to the people I feel deserve them, particularly my friends. Makes me happy to make them happy.
I don't care much for the opinion of many people at my school, but I give out credit where it's due. Can't have people feeling down on my watch.
But really, I just got thanked for that not 20 minutes ago. Damn I'm good
I don't like hearing Thank you from people and I don't react to compliments very well.
I don't give myself compliments either and I refrain from giving them out except when I'm sure they will come across platonic.
In short I don't need confidence boosters but I'm also a freak of nature so it doesn't matter.
I like giving people compliments, it makes people happee! =) I tend not to listen to the compliments and disagree with everything. Daniel should know. :greenie:
It's called fishing for complimentsQuote:

There, I gave a confidence booster (backhanded though it twas). Happy now?
The last time that I remember something like this happening, I was in a toilet or something, and I was just saying that I thought I looked stupid because I am quite eccentric in the way I dress; sometimes I feel comfortable and sometimes I feel way out of place, and this random woman was all "I think you like nice. Very unique" and then left.
How sweet.Quote:

I like random compliments. I give them more than I receive them though. It's not the sort of thing normal people do to strangers, but I don't give a toss.
Aw, thanks. I'm used to looking frumpy (because I spend most of my time inside and have no reason to trim my hair or wear nice things) so I forgot that I looked nice. So it was a good sort of suprise <3Quote:

Me and my friends were walking to one of the friends home when we meet 2 swedish girls and starts talking with them, we had a bit to drink but the swedes was sober and suddendly i find myself making out with one of them and she was really damm hot (read : way over my standard ;) )
That was a damm big confidence booster. :p
High five! Random compliments~!Quote:

If that is the truth, I have to say their way of getting compliments is a lot better than those puffed up women who think they deserve so much respect and expect everyone to praise them.Quote:

I hate egotists too. They really get on my nerves. But I also hate the skinny twig-like girls that keep complaining about being fat. It gets irritating.Quote:

I asked a few of my female friends yesterday if my complimenting them was a tad sleazy. They said no :) but I was worried as hell.
That's the point I was making. Some girls aren't inconfident at all, they just pretend they are so people say 'omg no ur special!4'Quote:
