Woh! That is complicated.
If someone says you look good or you are smart or whatever, blush if you have to and say thanks, they mean it and that is a good thing. If some creep says you look hot then walk away, they are a shithead.

Jon, I’m not a social idiot, I’m socially awkward. I know how I am supposed to take compliments. I’m just awful at it.

I’m stapling this to my forehead. It will invariably prove extremely useful
Love those flow charts, TS.

your writing makes you indescribably attractive. Its as though your command of the language somehow transcends the screen and infuses itself into your physical form. I imagine the words flowing from your soft, supple lips like crystalline drops of dew on a rose as the sun illuminates them at sunrise.

Everything about this is so true. So, so true. I usually try and deflect by complimenting them in return and end up looking like an insincere asshole, which only deepens my shame.

Sometimes I preemptively compliment in order to draw attention away from myself. Strategy and timing are important.
