Listening is so underrated. So well done.So I guess I'm a good listener? Or something?
Yeah, some compliments aren't worth it when you're self-conscious. I'd rather they said nothing.thank you for scoring 12/10 on my self-conscious scale - I think I’m gunna head home now.
That's a great compliment. I'm terrible at gifts and combined with my concern about us all buying too much, environmental concerns, being on a low budget...well, I don't buy that many gifts. People probably think I'm horrid and cheap. When I see something that inspires me or I feel sure about (whether I'm right or not) I go for it though and I don't worry if it's birthday time or not.I've had people tell me I was good at giving gifts, and that's not a generic compliment so I believe them.
I had to laugh at this. Is a two inch leg span really...huge @Tom Or where you referring to the body size, in which case I'll let you have it.lady wolf spider who was huge (like 2 inch leg span)

Your spider's got beautiful markings. But yeah, that's the size I see where...I'm not happy about it being near me already...but the main reason he's got to move is because before you know it he'll be like....No, its just leg span.

Any size spider freaks me right the heck on out. I ain't going near a spider, let alone a huntsman.Your spider's got beautiful markings.

That's a huntsman btw. The name makes them sound scarier than they are, I think. Mum likes them at her place. I would love to be like that but I just can't.
Sometimes you can catch them in tupperware but you've got to be real quick.

Haha! Cool. Still they're so annoying. I bet I would need that toilet paper right at that moment!We have Huntsmen in Florida too.View attachment 57126
That often seems to happen on there. :/Thank you! This thread originally about compliments got derailed onto a thread about spiders! Thanks for returning to the original point. By the way, I like your photo!
I don't agree with that but I think I understand what you're trying to say regarding online life.'being a good listener' is NOT a virtue!!! It just means that you're sitting there like a lump and contributing nothing!!! If you want to be worth something, you have to run around and scream and wave your hands in the air like a proper person!
We need people of all types. Gentle, forward, energetic, calm.This is a problem for me, since not only do I feel like I'm at my best when I'm being quiet and still, but apparently that's also when I am (somehow) the most useful to other people.
Thankyou. I was touched because she dousn’t compliment often.A relative recently showed me some old photos of myself and said they were cute.
I noted it because usually they speak of me in terms of my being odd, funny, weird.
@ZebraAspie that is really cool. Good for you.
