Why Is It Easier To Insult Someone Than To Compliment Them?
People need to learn to tame their egos…
Have you ever stopped to think about why handing out insults always feels more comfortable than giving away compliments?
The same thing happens in reverse as well!
For some reason, we feel much more at ease when receiving an insult than a compliment too!
If someone says, “The best part of you ran down your mom’s leg” you’d go on with your day as if nothing happened.
But if they said, “I really like your shoes!” Immediately, you’d be thinking “Wait, is there something wrong with my shoes? Fuck, what’s wrong with my shoes?!”
Why is that?
For one, it may be that you’re just insecure about your looks and the way you’re dressed (if that’s the case, you might wanna get a therapist and have that sorted out).
But a more logical reason might be down to the fact we don’t receive compliments all that often.
It would make sense since the less exposed we are to something, the less accustomed we’ll be to it.
You can’t expect a toddler to catch a ball the very first time you throw one at his face.
