I know this is not worse ... but my family was always doing the opposite - - showering me with absurd flattery about my looks that only made me feel uglier.


Maybe it's difficult for families to achieve perfect pitch in this area. Mostly I think they should just shut up about it.

I know what you mean. My wife's family carry on about how perfect I am, and that makes me feel like I could never measure up, and makes my wife feel inadequate. At those times I just want to tell them to shut up, too!

Oh yeah, all of the nicking over the years it is hard to take a compliment. Or, that people are just being nice.
