What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

[RosewoodTulip]

A few things about me:

• I am terrible at taking compliments. This isn’t to say that they’re not appreciated, just that I’m awkward and not well-versed in accepting and responding to them
• My levels of self-esteem vary wildly from minute to minute and no version of me is good at responding to them
• Lit’s reaction system suits me. I can or to show appreciation or to laugh it off without having to awkwardly respond to individual replies, and that can be a wonderful thing
• It’s so much worse when compliments are PMed and I don’t know what to say!
• Often, I’ll wander away for a while until I can think of an appropriate response
• More often than not, I will get distracted and/or forget entirely and the (very well-intentioned and appreciated) compliment combined with my awkwardness will inadvertently end the conversation

Granted I don't know you very well but this surprises me. You come across really sure of yourself, just flitting from place to play and spreading smiles as you go.
I totally relate though to how you explain your Lit experience - that resonates a lot with me.

And yes I'm aware I've dropped a compliment in a reply to a post about being awkward about receiving them so don't feel like you need to respond or anything. I just thought you might like to know.

[Hornymwtxn]

I am thinking collaborating on music playlists is fun.

Why is he here.....

Not you @Qwertymaker
The ex husband showed up unannounced and that just gets under my skin....
Like, isn't this our house?
Why is he here?
What does he want? Is he going to be in my way all day?
He's in my spot.....

He. Is. In. My. Spot.

Sometimes I might be quite sure of myself; other times, not so much. The amazingly positive people of Lit have helped that to some extent, but it’s an ongoing war against decades of issues. Even at my best, I might be able to manage a blanket multiquote response, but usually not individual responses. I can only genuinely say “aww, thank you! ” so many times before I feel like the biggest, phoniest idiot ever. A few others here are rock stars at replying to each and every comment and I am in awe of them, but could never Just as bad when someone compliments a stylistic choice, because unlike my appearance, those are easier to accept, and I somehow go on over-explaining my entire thought process leading to that choice. It’s just awkwardness all around

Just reminded me I gotta start a load of laundry.

 

[ShowMeYourSmile]

Do I even try? I mean I guess I have nothing to lose…

 

[Mo_Bandy]

Just reminded me I gotta start a load of laundry.

I only do like 1 load a week.

When I watch movies about high school bullies, it makes me happy I went to a small private school.

How does one possibly not keep peanut butter and jelly in their home? It’s the universal essential!

I don’t think I ever have either. Unless you would make PB&Js with packets of maple almond butter and marmalade or cherry preserves?

I have those, just usually don’t have a loaf of bread

That’s probably because I have all the bread at my house. Come on over

 

[SimplyMsT]

Thinking about hamburgers for dinner

 

[SalaciousMonkey22]

Are you making cookies?

 

[ericalauren]

Thinking about hamburgers for dinner

Great! Add some cheddar cheese and I'm coming over.

 

[LadyLascivious1]

Are you making cookies?

Actually I will be in a few days!

I made these for Easter last year and will again this week. And they will have cherry preserves instead of jelly



I very well may add the bread butts to keep them extra fresh!

 

[CuriousRick]

Of course another fucking scammer

 

[Mo_Bandy]

I have teenagers so I always have bread and pb& j in my house.

 

[ShaneoD]

That day went from horny to wholesome very quickly
