Reassuring Compliments

I hate when someone is good-naturedly bashing themselves, and someone else has to come along and think that that person has low self-esteem! If someone is simply saying, “hmm, I don’t like the way my eyes look when I wake up”, there is no need for someone else to say in an annoyingly reassuring voice, “ohhh, don’t say that! You are always pretty!” I mean seriously. Just because someone doesn’t think they are perfect, it does not mean they need a shrink to make them feel good about themselves.
