What's your least favorite compliment in the WORLD!? You know, those thing people say that just make you grind your teeth and bite your tongue....
I hate this one- you're too pretty to be gothic. Now what the F&#%*(%&@ does that mean!??? Like I am wasting my life merely because of how I choose to look on the outside? I wonder what advantage I would have if I decided to look normal. Then perhaps normal folks could say 'why you are a delightful looking lady' and I could be oh so happy. So happy, in fact, I probably wouldn't have sleeping problems anymore, and definitely not struggle with depression. Perhaps these are the rewards I would reap if only I could accept that I am too pretty to be gothic :-)
Have any of you guys heard that one before, or something similar? Perhaps 'you're too smart to____________' or 'you come from too good of a family to ___________". Such fill in the blank ""compliments"" such as these are insults in disguise!
So I guess that's my answer to, er, my own question.
I hate compliments that are really insults disguised as compliments!
