they call teenagers/young adults pretty or handsome?
I went to work with my dad today as he got me an internship there, and many of his friends were commenting on how handsome I was. I felt flattered but as someone with body dysmorphic disorder, I couldn’t take any of them seriously. Is it something that you adults just say or do you actually mean it?
I’d like honest answers.. thanks.

all go
hey look your looking sharp today,
or your looking like a handsome lad.
blah blah blah you get the picturr.
even though i have no intention on beleiving them. it feels good
anyways. but if they are all calling you handsome.
then take it in and say to yourself
“i am handsome”
stand infront of the mirror. slik you eyebrows and say look at that handsome devil 😀 dont realy do that just having fun.
but yea you gett what im saying
Yes, do what onkerio says with the eyebrow thing 😉
If I don’t think someone is attractive at all I generally just say nice to meet you. Or looks just like his dad, or something to that effect. I will not mention anything about attractiveness unless it is true.
like a rug
I always wander that, too, Justme, I think it might be somewhat true that they’re just saying it. But, eh I don’t know :O
PS: 853 you’re on sp!! :O
Older folks tend to let off their quirky little remarks towards me, which I graciously accept and return compliments in kind. Folks my age needn’t say a word, as their body language does all the talking. I’d noticed how some women I’d been around try their best to make some sort of eye contact with me, fidget with their lips or simply send a coy smile my way. It’s the little things you should take notice of, especially when it’s to do with someone in your age bracket.
9 times out of 10, it’s simply the fact that they are paying compliments towards you. Take that as you will.
…be wary of the ones who “proposition” you however. Eh, that doesn’t always turn out well.
