HOW IT WORKS:

2. Get rated & rate others: Are they hot, hot, hot (10)? Or are they not, not, not (1)? Share your thoughts using anything from a sliding scale of 1-10, to ✅ or ❎s, to whatever else you can think of. Agree? Disagree? Tell us why!

I don't really care about what people think about me
Especially how I look

[laevateinns]

I gathered that much.

Still, if it's nice things then it's not so bad, is it? Better than hearing criticisms or rude remarks, at least.

[bemist]

If it was criticism and they're not willing to say it to my face
It's as good as air to me
I wouldn't put much stock into what people say, anyway

[laevateinns]

[ he's once again reminded that she lives on a completely different wavelength than him. ]

Even if you don't care what people have to say, there's nothing wrong with accepting a compliment every now and then.

Although if you're worried there are ulterior motives... I understand that, as well.

[bemist]

[ If she's worried-- ]

Aren't there always ulterior motives?

[laevateinns]

A good point, really.

I suppose people compliment for some sort of ulterior motive... even if it's just feeling better about themselves, at best.

[bemist]

What, to make themselves come off as a nice person?

[laevateinns]

Exactly.

Or, in some cases, to get something out of you. For people who do care what others think, sometimes compliments and praise can be an affective form of manipulation.

[ ha... ha... ]

[bemist]

Effective manipulation, huh? Believe me, I'm aware. There aren't too many people in the City where I'm from who are kind without wanting something from it.

[laevateinns]

I would say it sounds like a horrible place, but... aren't all cities like that?

Still. Sounds like a rough place to deal with.

[bemist]

No, the city here seems to actually be relatively fine.

[ She hasn't gone into the Horrors. ]

[laevateinns]

Really?

Now I'm more curious about where you're from.

[bemist]

I could go into detail, but we'd be at it for months if I had to go into every little fucked up thing about it.
