…praise/affirm/compliment other women, how often do you mean it?
If only I had a penny for everytime I heard one of these converstions between two ugly girls:
Girl A: OmiiGosh, I am so ugly
Girl B: No I think you are very pretty, prettier than me atleast
Girl A: Awww Shucks, Are you kidding?, if I were a guy I would totally hit on you
Girl B: Awwww, really?
i usually don't compliment someone unless I genuinely mean it. for me, I don't have a poker face, if i don't mean it a person can tell right away. there's always something good to say about somebody
I never make false praise but occasionally you'll run into someone who is uber-insecure and fishing for compliments that you have to say something to shut them up. But that being said, I always compliment something if I like it, plus, I think it's nice.
"Oh my god I'm so ugly"
"Oh my god I'm so fat"
What I want to say "yeah you are" What I do, walk away, literally.
These are attention seeking openers. No proper fat girl says this. No john merrick-esque girl says this.
I mean every compliment I give.
I had a bigger tash than any guy in my year when I was in high school, so anyone who even tries to say that I probably don't know how it feels to be insecure can just BACK UP. ha.
I never said "I'm so ugly"
nor did I ever say "oh ma gawd I have such a big tash" so that other girls would tell me I didnt.
^ Oh, god. That is horrible. :( Why didn't your mom help you with it? It's a bit off topic but there were a few girls that had really visible stubble and facial hair, of course due to a health problem, and I was always astonished their mothers didn't help them with it and let them get made fun of like that. And the other thing is their friends never helped them with it either. I feel so bad for girls in those kinds of situations. If my daughter ever has a problem of that sort, I'm getting her laser before she starts school.
@M_was_here Nah, I'm glad. It was tough, this one kid used to say "Mach 3" everytime I walked passed him, but now, if you look at me and you look at him, I get the last laugh. HA. NOT BITTER. if I'd always been aethetically pleasing I probably wouldn't have been a dorky a-grade kid and then I'd have not much to talk about except for my hair and makeup. I'd take my tash anyday so long as it means I'm not vacuous. Mum thought I was too young. I got rid of it when I was 14.

Aw, glad you're not bitter about it and moved on. Great attitude, Halima!
^better than gassing her up to the point where she actually starts looking down on the genuinely hot ones. Then again, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
