Few things more mortifying than someone 'complimenting' you on a physical feature of your human body they 'know most people don't find attractive'; either they're a self-absorbed weirdo who takes all their social cues from YA fantasy protagonists (bad) or it's deliberate negging in order to get close to you (worse)

#(justin mcelroy voice) it happened to me #(friend of a friend of a roommate apropos of nothing! it would be wouldn't it)#people in the former category are seriously living out a story where they're the protagonist like 'i'm so cool for liking ugly people'#(or worse- and often related- 'i'm so cool for not being racist')#anyway this is even more common online than it is irl because people are so open about not liking this or that about themselves #don't Ever let someone try to flatter you by playing on your insecurities #re: prev post
