Do you get embarrassed when someone tells you they think your nice looking?

Answer 1

That is the quickest most effective way to make me blush and stammer.

Answer 2

No but I do wonder who they're looking at when they say it.....Ok, cheap attempt at a compliment LOL

Seriously though, I don't get embarrassed but I do feel a bit off. I personally feel uncomfortable about my looks only because as a child I was called many names and even though I know I'm not Quasi-modo, the feelings still linger. Self esteem is a difficult horse to ride because it is intemperate and thus can at times seem confident in its stride yet can bolt at the first sign of real or perceived slight or praise.

Answer 3

I have this vision of a monster standing over a victim with a needle dripping horse tranquilizer in hand about to make another damn porno with an involuntary "actor" whom he met without pretense or forewarning of said pharmacological pornographers intent to exploit and humiliate.

Yes, sometimes there is an ulterior motive to compliments.

You were looking to here nobody will ever catch you? Because they don't "Get it"? Some of us know what Embarrassment really means!

Because I cannot believe anyone would go to Yahoo Answers with a question so seriously naive, I have looked for an alternative interpretation for the question. (Perhaps worst case scenarios are my forte'.)

If your question was innocent: Yes almost everyone gets all blush from time to time when our egos are stroked. It doesn't make you a pervert (in every case in any case). It doesn't mean your going to hell (in every case in any case). It doesn't mean you are or are going to cheat on somebody you are attached to (in every case in any case).

Anthropologically we are endowed with normal responses to sociological stimulus (most of us in any case).

Not everyone truly gets embarrassed though, because variances are normal. Like most things there is a curve that might be generated that would demonstrate variances in occurrence. Some women grow beards, some don't get embarrassed. Neither are freaks. Some boys have big ones, others small ones. Some cannot blush. Not freaky. In fact, if everyone were the same nobody would survive certain catastrophic events. Genetic variances do in fact increase any given group's survival rates. The super woman might indeed wear a beard in the next ice age (Don't laugh Gore might be right!); or just as likely will scoff at easy social communion and not blush because like the hairless face too much of a good thing in stressed environments is less successful than being a snow bunny who must then divide limited resources with multitudes.

Likewise, on a desert island for instance, two people who are bunnies might have a greater survival rate (especially if the island down the channel is populated by hungry cannibals). Thus greater signaling of emotional responses is called for.

Neither response is a freaky thing. And all responses are in theory best.

Happy now? You've wasted my hour. So if you've got a needle stick it in the garbage and if your feeling like a freak do not cover your head with a paper bag but rather be proud that you in your humanity represent a species that can now and hopefully always will adapt.

Now to get back to the freaks....just because I say their are variences to human responces to stimulus does not grant you rights to stick needles in people and make porn. If making people look stupid is funny to you bnecome a politician (seriously that's a joke - don't run). That's one thing, but if hurting people is your forte' give us all a break and get help. If your psychologis psychiatrist likes you as a kinderd spirit for 'needing' such help get different help. Such shrinks exist that like murderous sociopathic monsters but we should not give them work.

Answer 4

No not at all. But if a guy tell me that I'm good looking then that will be a problem. I don't want guys to tell me that I'm good looking hell no thats gay. Can't stand it. I'll leave that kind of thing for the ladies.

Answer 5

Yes, I used to get very embarrassed. It's not something that I did. Not something that I had any control over...

Answer 6

I had my dad's second cousin tell me that at a family get together and I had never met this women. She said I was beautiful and I had no idea what to say. It was kinda embarrassing and I felt awkward.

Answer 7

First, I wonder what drugs they are on . But yeah, I do get kinda embarrassed.

Answer 8

Flattered

Answer 9

Absolutely not. There was a time in my life when someone would comment me I would try and disagree. But as years went on I learned how to accept compliments.

It's one of the best things I've ever learned.

Answer 10

i'm modest, but it is nice to hear it, a little embarrassed though : ) by the way you are cute
