Hi Caraher,
I bet that you could make the right person's day by a carefully placed compliment.Personally, I cannot accept them. I've gotten compliments (on personal appearance) that were far more toxic than the worst disparaging remark ever.
Those are my issues though. I actually brought this up in therapy last week, because I'm on a diet and have lost weight and feel more conspicuous than usual. It's pretty terrifying.
Given the right circumstances, though, even I could accept a compliment on the earrings I was wearing or on my cute new shoes. depends, though.
