compliments

taking compliments is something i simply suck at. in fact, i'm so bad at taking compliments, i probably put people off.

when i arrived at the party earlier, for example, a friend was like, "wow, you look like a victoria secret model!" after he completed the greeting with a kiss on my cheek, i only laughed awkwardly.

in the ladies' room following that, some1 said she thinks i'd pass as a member of the girl group girls' generation. i just laughed awkwardly again and said, "ah, no, i don't think so."

then i come home after the party and some gourmet cupcakes. a friend sees me online and we talk about his life and how hopelessly lame i am when it comes to taking compliments. he tells me he thinks i'm "effortlessly attractive", and i wouldn't hear any of it.

what's wrong with me??? why can't i just say thank you and/or hey, you look nice, too?

zzz...
