30 Days of Truth (Day 12)

Day 12: Something you never get compliments on.

I think, at this point in my life, I've probably gotten compliments on just about everything that is compliment worthy at least once or twice.

I never get compliments on the fact that my feet don't stink? Is that a good answer?

Once, I had a guy ask me if I've ever had braces on my teeth. I said I had not. He said he's never come across a set of teeth as naturally straight as mine. I told him he never would either. haha.

I wish I got more compliments on my sense of humor. To me, it is in the top 3 things I like about myself. I can always find something to laugh about, no matter how "wrong" it is.

I never get compliments about my patience. Probably because I'm not very patient. Maybe I should work on that one.

Seriously though, while I appreciate those who DO notice, I don't think enough people comment on or appreciate just how much I've grown and changed these past 5 years. It kind of bothers me, not because I need the praise, but because people tend to respond to me as if I'm the same person. That, to me, is very condescending and demeaning. The current me does not need to hear the same words that the old me needed to hear, and, when people say them to me, it makes me feel like people aren't bothering to notice. And, it's one thing to not notice... Hey, that's fine, I mean, I guess this is what separates the friends from the acquaintances.
