why are some people unappreciative? like you pay them a compliment and they won't even say thank you. note: i mean in the real world and this site

A compliment is a gift. You dont have any rights to it once you have given it. Appreciation? If people dont appreciate your compliments, that is their problem, dont make it yours. :-) Btw, you look gorgeous in your pic.

I agree with Ladywind, a compliment is a gift requiring no feedback. It is simply a truth that is shared, that should stand on its own. Otherwise, tis flattery, and pandering is easy to ignore. You simply cannot take personally, a lack of response from someone you have approached in some way with your compliment. It in no way alters the value of your gift.

They may also be shy and may not be able to say anything back. But yeah I do agree with you

why are some people unappreciative? like you pay them a compliment and they won't even say thank you. note: i mean in the real world and this site I dunno, it is happening everywhere though. I think a lot of it is in this ever growing fast moving world, a lot of the common courtesies are being forgotten and left behind. Rudeness in many forms has just become a vice for a great many people, whether intentionally or unconsciously. You can't let it get to you though. You are a good person and that is what matters.

why are some people unappreciative? Well, Katy, I appreciate you being here. Then again, I am a bit biased because you are Scottish.

why are some people unappreciative? like you pay them a compliment and they won't even say thank you. note: i mean in the real world and this site I believe any compliment does require an acknowledgement to be polite, and not to respond displays ignorance, in the same way as not returning a greeting when meeting somone would be ignorant. Unfortunately, there are ignorant people around, their loss, good manners costs nothing.
