"Sometimes a compliment is not a thing you should be proud of."
Is the statement true? I would give a "yes".
A compliment sometimes really make me feel stress and kinda tired of it. You know why? Cos people expect you to be as good as they praised you in the last time.
For example,
"You're so smart!" from a teacher. He/She will start to expect you to answer every questions given. If you can't answer, he/she will be like "what? I thought you are very smart!" or maybe feel a little disappointed. It's not a good feeling when I disappoint someone.
The next one,
"You're so handsome!" from a friend or a stranger. I have no idea why they say this. Flattering? Flatter for what? To catch that "handsome" guy's attention? Yes, maybe, a girl does this to let that guy feel that she got attracted to him and maybe they will start to be in a relationship. Who knows? Then this would be the REAL reason behind the compliment.
If a girl receives a compliment on how pretty she is from a girl, maybe she just want to get close to you, cos maybe you're really pretty and you have a lot of fans. She does this to catch your fans' attention so that she can get a little fans.
All those above are my own opinions. I'm just sharing my thoughts.
Although sometimes I think compliments are not good, but it's quite good in some ways. A praise from the others will make me feel good and maybe it will increase my self-esteem, I guess. It's good to be praised!
