"Don't Take This the Wrong Way, But...": Compliments I don't like, therefore they are bad.

It's not that I don't appreciate the sincerity behind this compliments, it just that sometimes I think that they could be taking the wrong way, and sometimes for weird reasons they hurt my feelings just a wee bit.

The first one is, "your so skinny, you could use some food in you." I don't like this compliment because it implies that I don't eat, and that I need to change myself.

"Ah, you're so nice," and/or "you're so perfect," I don't like these ones, because I'm not perfectly nice, I make mistakes. I know that it shouldn't make me feel this way, but it makes me feel bad for making mistakes. It makes me feel like the person saying it thinks that I'm perfect, and since I'm not, I should be.

"You're so tall you should be a model," this one upsets me, because I looked in to it, and in reality, I am in no means tall enough for stick skinny enough to be a model. And, I like myself the way I am, so I'm not planing on starving myself anytime the near future.

Looking back on these, I sound pretty mean. Please keep in mind that I'm not trying to hurt anyones feelings, or be rude, and I'm sorry if this article makes you offended.:)
