What is a compliment that immediately puts you on the defensive or makes you want to remove the source of the compliment?

1. None that I can think of. Do you have any examples?

2. “You’re so nice”

   “You’re going to make a great boyfriend/husband”

   “You must be great with your hands”

   “You look like you know a lot about computers”

   “You look like you could lift a lot”

   “I love how you’re not like other guys”

   All of these can put me on edge and make me adapt a bit for different reasons

3. “You’re a good size! If it’s too big, it’s uncomfortable.”

4. Anything that seems fake and just people pleasing

5. Your penis is perfect, just like my brothers
