in picrel's situation there's nothing you can do other than say "thanks" and not drag it out any further: people will hate you for not shutting up/taking the "positivity." they want to feel like a good person, which is far more important to them than being honest. "the worst part about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." it's frustrating but unfixable, since ugly people are not allowed to complain without being seen as ungrateful disrupters of the peace.

but the pic implies that the ugly one was venting to this prettier woman, which she shouldn't have done in the first place. vent to other uglies, family, or not at all

Literally just take the compliment and stop fantasizing about what she might be thinking in her head? Holy hell

i think op misused picrel but was trying to paint a picture of a pretty woman that's genuinely lying and it kinda shows. a lot of beautiful people are just trying to spread the love, or are innocently oblivious - but like, not always

If you don't trust someone, you don't have to interact with them and if you work together or something you can interact with them as little as possible. Worrying about what people think all the time will paralyze you and is pointless because people are fickle things. Those that love you one day may hate you the next.

yh, i agree. overthinking about other people's intentions is paralysing, plus a bit invasive because it's not anyone's business to inspect the private thoughts of others. assuming the worst of others is also cruel in its own way, since it paints someone as a bad liar. but genuinely, there are tons of people that think they're god's gift for saying "wow you shouldn't be insecure, you're so beautiful" when they're lying through their teeth - like those girls that are "self love" gurus, but get touchy when they're compared to fat girls. it's the self congratulating attitude that is so backwards. but you're right tbh, even with that being said, the best option is to avoid deciding for oneself what other people think. it's self-centred just the same. i guess i just hate dishonest people that say everyone should lie to themselves and be happy when that's encouraged
