I hate how neurotypical people butter each other up and fake glaze each other It seems so fake and inauthentic to me, I don’t complement people unless I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart

I like to go out of my way to randomly compliment people (usually strangers) on little things. It makes them happy and I like bringing a little light into people’s day when I can🤗

Yeah it sucks but apparently anything else is read as “I hate you and you should die”

How would your complimenting change if it came from the top of your heart. I think you spend too long digging at the bottom

I mean idk I feel like you can compliment someone genuinely without it needing to always be some deep held thing from the bottom of your heart Like if I notice someone’s outfit I compliment it, and I try to keep an eye out for things I like to compliment. Idk, I find it meaningful to look for things to appreciate on people, even strangers

I get it I’m not wired that way either but it sounds sick to say the perfect compliment for someone to hear. As long as you believe its true its as authentic as life. I said what I said, try complimenting from the top of the heart

The way I see it is most people view themselves as the most important person around, it’s not due to ego or anything it’s more of a subconscious thing. Praising other people be it fake or not is them trying to be humble but it coming off as insincere

I hate how people expect you to give them compliments on normal things, I’m not sorry that I don’t give out fake compliments just to satisfy you

It’s a metaphor, I’ve noticed a pattern of neurotypical people glazing each other whether its online or in person, and it has rubbed me off as inauthentic. I don’t really do that because I’m not wired to, unless I’m distinctly making it clear that I’m joking or being sarcastic, I don’t say things that I don’t mean. Ykw I mean?

That’s the weird thing, isn’t it? I don’t get that, there are a ton of weird social cues and rules that seem so nonsensical and people get mad when you point it out to them.

Maybe I’m being a little melodramatic, I understand giving people compliments or saying good things about them to them… I just don’t say those kinds of things unless I genuinely mean it.

I mean I don’t either, but I do actively lol for things to compliment in a way that is genuine. Like some people who give lots of compliments like that are being fake but some also are just genuinely complimenting people
