> First, I'm going to make a few guesses: that you're in high school, you're American, and that the general population of your school consists of 'regular people'-- ie, they are considered to be normal in our dysfunctional society.

If they are 'normal' people then they look at you with a sense of bewilderment because they are so suprised that anyone could do that. It is not 'normal' to give oneself a compliment and it either scares or confuses them, probably both. That, or they think you're some sort of egomaniac who loves oneself.


Right you are, Wormwood. I know I'm not an egomaniac, but who knows what they think. LOL. I don't believe in normality, but I can definitely see your point. Hmm...I never really gave myself compliments until the past year or so, and I must say that it has really helped me become a better person in the long-run. :-)
