    Uh, why not?

    I totally agree with you, but I can’t help being stupid about it anyways.

    When people say my hair is amazing or that I look awesome in thigh high boots, that shit’s better than any high I could achieve

    Most compliments I’ve typically received as an egg have been related to my appearance I disliked and sometimes explicitly masculine-coded compliments. But I had no clue why I disliked them so much (nor did I get why sometimes there were exceptions where I did like them…). Also, a lot of “compliments” about being (school) smart are just backhanded insults imo and/or people presuming I look down on them. Either way, I still have the emotional feeling of compliments = bad.

      It’s fine, just dw about it :) IMO it’s a basic social courtesy to be considerate of people’s pronouns, and everyone deserves it.

      Oh yeah that would be less than pleasant aubrey-pain I totally get why you’d dislike compliments if that’s been your experience of them, which sucks meow-hug sorry…
