Huh, it’s the other way around for me. Anyone feel the same? And my general view of how I look is much worse than what everyone else seems to see. If I go fully by my own view I’d say I look about average, I’m comfortable with how I look but I wouldn’t say it’s anything of note, but apparently people see something else. I get compliments from random people all the time, everything from my physical features to my style, and I never understood why. I have agoraphobia and general social anxiety so I’d love to be able to go outside and get groceries or whatever and just be left alone like most other people but about a third of the time when I leave my apartment some random person(s) give me compliments. I won’t deny that I appreciate it in some ways, more or less depending on the situation and how I feel but it often triggers my anxiety and most of the time I’d like it not to happen.

I’m a 35yo dude BTW, not some good looking young woman (which people have guessed other times when I’ve mentioned it).
