Ok, I'm going to be completely honest with you. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Are you telling me that I made a shit comment? If so, please do say so because I'm gonna be honest: I am not sure about this comment and I've been thinking about deleting it ever since I posted it. I rewrote it like five or six times before until I finally got fed up with it and said "fuck it" and posted it. :|

EDIT:

So, according to all of you, I worry too much. Thanks a lot for the support, and I'm glad you liked my comment. ❤️

How did you interpret a genuine compliment as so negative? You need to get some more self-esteem, friend lol. You're valid and you have good insights!

Internet. Those with empathy have been wary for years...

Because obviously all compliments are actually just insults in disguise! /s

I put /s, but like, that's often my first assumption. IME, often compliments have been mostly been intentionally a back-handed insult, are putting themselves down in the process, or they're trying to give a genuine compliment but its about something I dislike about myself and therefore feels insulting despite the intentions.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're being genuine. It's an insightful comment!

They are being genuine. It is a terrific analysis. You are exactly right; in their minds, they are "normal", and anyone implying any sort of equal status between them and the "abnormals" pisses them off.

Leave it, it is very well-written and it also made my day to read

Considering that they didn't use the universal /s tag, I would take it at face value. It's a good comment.

Plume - I was being totally serious. I really think your comment hit home for me and I appreciate how you framed your points.

Also - please don’t let internet comments from strangers linger rent free in your head. Too much awesomeness out in the world to let randoms’ comments bring you down.
