Friends don’t always wish you well; envy and even outright aggression often manifest themselves.
Therefore, it is worth remembering a few compliments from a friend that are not compliments, because they negatively affect self-esteem.
This "compliment" emphasizes a person's appearance as an obstacle to courage, which can lead to a feeling of insecurity in one's own appearance. And it seems that something good was said, but such a phrase will definitely leave its mark.
While this may sound like a compliment, it focuses on age as a deficit, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy and fear of aging.
This statement downplays the importance of intelligence and experience, reducing everything to having a degree, which can undermine self-confidence.
Of course, in the modern world knowledge and diplomas are valued, but such statements certainly do not lead to anything good.
While this may seem like a compliment in society, it can reinforce negative body image and instill the idea that only a slim body is a sign of success.
And here the question immediately arises: have you ever failed to lose weight before? It is very easy to offend with such a phrase, and many simply do not realize this.
This "compliment" appreciates friendliness, but then raises the issue of shyness, which may lead to a feeling of lack of social competence.
Of course, you definitely shouldn’t be offended by such a phrase, because sometimes it can really be said with love.
While this sounds like a caring question, it suggests that happiness must be temporary or false, which may lead to doubts about one's own well-being.
This "compliment" can create a feeling of inadequacy in relation to the current activity and pressure to start doing something new, despite one's own interests and desires.
