@jcla2212 Oh, how rude of you to call it 'cringe' when someone compliments another person’s looks. Have you ever heard of women empowerment? As women, we should be uplifting and proud of each other’s confidence. It’s all about spreading positivity, ante! Maybe it's not the compliment that’s the problem, but your own insecurity. If you can’t handle people being nice to others, maybe it’s time to reflect on why. Just a thought, ate gurl.

I think you’re really missing the point. It’s totally cringe you still have this mentality towards “other nationalities” (key word as that is the highlight in your original post) giving you compliments. Like, as Filipinos, why do we constantly need to seek approval from foreigners? When will we ever free ourselves from this persisting colonialism? It’s one thing to get complimented, but why should it be any different, or perceived any better, than literally any other time? Do you get it?

sari-sarili tayong thread dito bakit bothered so much?!
