    positive attention

    So starved of positive attention that you mistake creepy demands for compliments?

      you look cute

      Definitely a compliment

      you should smile more

      Dunno what the intention was, I read it as “you look cute when you smile” but could be “you would look (even) cuter if you smiled”. If it’s either of those, that’s going to my compliment book.

      And yes, men are famine level starved of positive attention. So this “creepy demand” (demand??) defintely would count for me.

        Last week people in Lemmy were arguing that someone knocking on your doorstep was akin to being a hostage, so yeah, they would clearly think of that as “demand”

          Lemmy is full of the lowest common denominator spurred on by trolls. Nothing the collective said should ever be taken as serious without your own further research off platform.
