WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?

Actually it really depends on the case, it becomes kinda glaring when people are complimenting for education or for falsety, but it's better to accept it as well than to get in trouble.
As for my compliments, they're sometimes not entrely true and I only use them as a method to incentivate whomever i'm complimenting. It's effective.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

I've heard that complimenting someone when they do something you want them to do is apparently a good way to make them keep doing the same thing. Which sounds underhanded, but really just means that if someone says "you look nice in that outfit" then they probably want you to keep wearing the outfit, which is probably because you look nice in it. When I compliment someone, it's for something like this. Positive reinforcement so you know you're doing stuff right and won't stop.
But sometimes, admittedly, the main thing you're doing that they want you to keep doing is refraining from getting all emotional and butthurt and melodramatic about not being complimented.
If you're the kind of person who gets bothered if people tell you your flaws and not your good traits, chances are that a lot of the compliments directed at you are the latter type. I don't give out those types of compliments, personally; I just avoid interactions (or make enemies) with the types of people who require them.

I'm horrible at making people feel better but I'll give it a go.
Listen to some happy music, watch a cute or funny Youtube video, and most importantly, don't walk into the middle of traffic because you got a 71 on a CALCULUS test where the teacher gives you 10 seconds to figure out a problem. Oh, and speaking of which, don't die! :)
If that made you feel better, good! If that didn't, well, I did say I'm not good at this kind of stuff.
Thanks. :) I kinda feel better, but still, I have no idea what grade I currently have.
Sigh...
Hmm. Yea, the complimenting cuz u mean it thing seems true..
Its just cuz though that... Well, thank god im anonymous, but... Ive been getting told that i should... Try modelling?
But i cant tell whether they're just crazy/ delusional/ in the moment and getting too excited or something. Or if i actually should believe them... But i doubt it..... .-.
@Mr.Detective: its alright, ive been nearly failing my chemistry and physics, lol. Ur not alone haha. (D:)

My brother has probably lost a shitload of weight after estranging himself from the family and moving in with his bitchy authoritarian girlfriend.
Wow, romantic relationships sure can be like tumors at the time. At first, they're fine but over the time, they get worse.

Theoretically that only applies to the bad relationships. One would hope that in a good relationship your life is actually improved - otherwise why are you in it?
Because it's soooo hard to be aloooone ;_; *sniff* *sniff*

My brother is a masochistic moron, that's why he hasn't broken up yet.

Aren't you already over it though?? =-=

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

It's an interesting thought though. I sometimes wonder myself why I keep trying to get a girlfriend, even though with every girl I know beforehand I'm not going to be successful, and I'll probably lose a friend because of it.
Sometimes I think I may be the perfect gay friend material, only I'm not gay. :/

I began to realise I had bigger problems to worry about, for better or for worse...

I'm no expert on these things, but from what I've heard if you find yourself 'trying' to get a girlfriend you should probably stop.

This! The mindset "I need a girlfriend/boyfriend" means you're looking for anyone who will date you, not someone you'll enjoy spending time with :P And, it means you may end up staying in the relationship longer than you're actually happy, because you think you need them to be whole! If you form a relationship from a place of want rather than need ("I want to be with this person, and they want to be with me") everything becomes a lot more honest, simple and there's no crippling reliance.
(Relying on your significant other is fine! Everyone needs a hand sometimes. By crippling reliance I mean the kind that makes you useless without them around, like a dependency.)
I heard a quote once that summed it up pretty well: "Obsessions are unconditional. Love is about mutual respect."
so I was flipping through the radio stations (because all of the radio stations here suck) and came across one that was playing a decent guitar riff. I was bopping along, enjoying it and then Chad Kroeger started singing. I was just enjoying a nickelback song.

I wonder if it's worth buying a PS3 at this point in time. I kept waiting year after year for Suikoden 6 to buy a "next gen" console and Suikoden 6 never came. And I'm getting tired of hearing people talk about their Uncharteds and their Mass Effects and God knows what else; Besides: GTA5! ...But with PS4 announced, I wonder if I should wait instead. xP

Love the music, not the artist.
