#dontremindme

don’t compliment me on my looks.

i don’t take pride in my looks.

compliment me on something i actually take pride in.

i take pride in my writing, my music taste, my intellect, etc.

compliment one of those.

it just feels awkward when someone says that because they might as well be lying.

“you look nice.” no, i don’t. i look like crap. i look like crap because i feel like crap.

how i look reflects how i feel about myself.

i know i’m not pretty/attractive/whatever.
