Digesting compliments
I've never been good at compliments... giving or receiving. I mean, I can tell when someone is kissing my ass and when they really mean it. I just don't understand why some people say the things they do.
When someone compliments another person's looks, it's a no-brainer. A simple thank you will do. However, I get this one a lot, "You have the best job ever." What am I supposed to do with this information? "Thank you," doesn't really fit as a response. "Your job is pretty cool too," would be a lie in most cases. What the hell? I mean, to me, my job is my job, but... ya know, maybe I've got it all wrong! I just have no clue what compliments are used for.
What is a compliment to you? What makes you feel the need to give one? How do you feel when you get one? What's the best compliment you've ever recieved? How about the best you've ever given?
