People Like You More Than You Know

I don't know why you are framing this like you disagree with me since we are both saying "Yeah, that giving compliments thing? Doesn't really work so well in my experience."

I can't see that he was framing it like he disagreed with you. You were the one doing that, it seems to me.

You again and again on HN tell of how awfully the people in your life, the people on here who won't talk to you, the people who do talk with you, have treated you. Then you rebuke people for offering advice, trying to help.

Then you tell us "avoiding drama is one of my skills".

The comment was edited after I replied. Someone else replied to me before I noticed the edit, so I couldn't delete my remark.

It depends on the sincerity of the person giving the compliment. It’s hard to gauge or measure that sometimes. I try to be charitable, but I am also disposed to paranoid thought loops so I’m a bit more charitable than most people to compensate for that mental defect.
