It's a hang up thing with me. Once bitten, twice shy kinda thing. It's like champagne bubbles bubbling. It's like the joy a full moon night gives you. Or the sound of the first rain drops. Or like the smell after the rain. Hot coffee. Chocolate. That's what a compliment does to me.
But I tell myself to cut it out, and not believe in it. 'Cuz more often than not, the person will get angry and throw it all back on your face.
Yes, I know, jeez, woman. But nonetheless, I love it. You can't make the bubbles stop. And hell, even if you could, the whole bravado thing is a facade. Fooling yourself, really never works, so why try over something this nice?
Who wouldn't like a compliment, tell me? No sane person. And no insane person either. Everyone loves to be appreciated. Whether you outwardly agree with me, or don't is another issue.
Artist, that I am, I hardly ever find something/one "ugly". And I don't hesitate to let the other person know. The trick is in, saying it like you mean it. And more than that, saying it only when you mean it. It's a mean thing to lie about such a thing. Really.
Don't lose patience with a person who reacts the way I do. Don't give up. It's like dealing with a frightened animal. Sounds crazy talking about myself like a third person, but whoever promised you otherwise?
Point I'm making is, that I've been there, done that. With a frightened animal. When it's my turn to be like that, everyone has their days buster, an impatient person is not on the prescription.

Most like you to post a post that a lesser mortal like me wouldnt understand a word of.. *scratches head* anyway all i got from this post is that ur a frightened animal and u consider urself as a third person :|

wats this courtesy chai shop opposite Taj!!
u know seriously after reading this one i'm scratching my head.... and thinking .. lol
:)
was hoping that i'd make something of your post after reading some of the comments...looks like they're equally dumbfounded.
maybe you're writing a secret will for some inane treasure that you've buried under a chai shop opposite taj...or maybe i am just trying too hard.
Well,
I get red-faced when I get a compliment. But don't worry, a red-face is better than a green or a purple face, I say to myself.
But yes, I concur with the general trend of thoughts...
(What else can I do, eh? :D)
Cheers!
@ Ry: That's about all it had. And that compliments are good, specially when they're real.
@ Ira: You couldave done worse :) The title and the last line are suppose to be put together.
@ Nav: Tsk tsk. Posts in which every sentence has a hidden meaning, you can figure out. But this one, you can't. Since what I'd written is imp to me here's the gist- Compliments are amazing. Just mean them when you say them. If a person brow beats you for saying them, like me, have patience.
@ BS: Lol. Thank you.
Thanks for dropping by guys,
All my love.
Hmm.
patience you say? So I keep saying stuff until the other person either maims or shoots me? :)
And ah well,Am scratching my head too.But thats something I do often,so don't sweat,am used to it ;)
Get far too few compliemts to not like them anyway ;)
Yeah right.
Too few it seems.
And pigs fly.
SG.
