        ADHD here, it’s one of two. The other is to guess bottom surgery/sex reassignment to teach her what sort of prizes she can expect from playing stupid games. Yeah you’re burning that bridge, but that’s a bridge worth burning

      ADHD here, after years of studying behavior from normies in order to emulate/mask, this is easily one of the best answers here.

      Sometimes brutal honesty is the answer.

    “I thought you looked beautiful before, I think you look beautiful now, honestly I can’t tell” or if not recent “dunno, all your features look perfect to me, so I could never choose, your eyes are my favorite”

    …of course, green text is fake.

      “You seemed like a person who would have a wizard’s sleeve situation down there.”

      “Wtf it was my ears”

      “So is the situation down there not fixed or what do you mean?”

        Ehh for some it’s natural to understand, for some it’s learned, for some it’s off the radar completely.

        Asking for compliments is fine but people are insecure so they do it indirectly.

        “How do you like this dress/these pants/this whatever” would be someone giving an opportunity to compliment them. But they would be uncomfortable with asking, “can you compliment this …”

        You’re right that it’s not <good> communication. It’s super taxing for me as i’m in the learned group edging on off the radar(i naturally interpret teasing as bullying). So i just try to compliment people regularly at least once every time i spend time with them to make up for it. More on dates and in relationships.

          I try to compliment people regularly too but if they ask a question I would answer it honestly.

          I also feel like I’ve been told that I shouldn’t ask for compliments because it’s rude when I was a child. However I can’t remember who said it to me.

            It can depend on the person so it’s a general concept. I think if someone is asking for a critique they would ask more directly. Culture also plays a big role. I’m speaking from a USA cultural viewpoint.

            Bah, screw that! People like making others feel good. It makes you feel good to know another person is pleased. So what if you fish for that sort of engagement unless you’re being an incessant little dictator?
