Yeah, I think it's because I know that he loves me and thinks I'm beautiful, which is of course, wonderful! I also know that he's not objective and that pretty much anyway I look to him is fantastic
silly man, his favortie outfit on me is my baggy men's PJ bottoms with a tank top, not blinged out bellas!
I think it's probably the subjective -v- the objective, as most people have noted. The fact that this person had nothing to gain but still complimented me made feel very nice, which I don't question, again, it was how this impacted me when my partner had made such determined efforts to cheer me up. My partner is much more important to me than random guy. Plus, I usually overthink things
Bul-bul, you're right. I can usually take people's criticism with a grain of salt and try to look at what i can learn from an interaction, but for the first time in my life I'm struggling with my body. I've usually been able to work out and be in decent enough shape that I can take nasty comments and shrug them off. I haven't figured out how to get to the gym enough to really get back in shape. And, forgive the pun, it's weighing on me.
On the other hand, my son's no longer introduce their friends to me, they don't want to deal with the crushes
