Complimentary

You know what? Maybe I don't compliment people enough. I never compliment someone unless I truly mean it, but at the same time it's kind of embarrassing because I truly mean it. Does that even make sense? I don't want to turn into those people that compliment other people in a high pitched fake voice as they pretend to be nice and then turn around and talk about what an ugly whore they are. None of my friends have the tendency to over-compliment, so it's kind of awkward if I say something. It's kind of this code of unspoken compliments or we compliment jokingly. Something like that. I remember this girl in my lab that made me incredibly uncomfortable when she bombarded me with, "Omg! I love your hair and your shoes and your jacket! Omg! I really like your earrings too!" I was kind of in shock because it was so overwhelming. I didn't even know how to respond. I had to rely on my default: thanks and awkward laughter. How do you know if they're lying? I don't know, I don't really care about things like that. I'm happier if people compliment on personality because then you know for sure that it's genuine; but see, complimenting on personality is even more embarrassing than anything materialistic so it's quite the predicament.

I don't know what my conclusion is. Maybe I should just be quiet. Silence is surprisingly powerful. That's precisely why I'm only paying $50 for internet/television service that should be $110 and I don't even have a tv. Pro. brushes off shoulder


See? Words are unnecessary. Sorry, don't hate me for posting this buddy. This is one of my reasons for keeping Facebook. Ah, I guess I also don't tell people that I miss them unless I really do. Is that okay or should I lie? Sheesh. I don't know I'll think about this some more.
