<p>As a complement to the compliment thread, what do people say about you, but ___?
The formula is generally:
Susan is <insert complimentary="" thing="" here=""> * but * ... <insert less="" flattering="" detail="" here="">. </insert></insert></p>
<p>For me...I guess it'd be:
Vertigo is nice but quiet. (I guess quiet is an off-putting characteristic?) </p>
<p>Lame, yes, I know...but I'm not the most eclectic sort of person out there. </p>
<p>Go ahead :p ?</p>
<p>Ost is nice but boring.</p>
<p>Matt is funny but eccentric (my intense passion sometimes weirds people out)</p>
<p>Eccentricity is what makes people interesting!</p>
<p>Natalie is nice but quiet, funny but weird/annoying, smart but lazy (I procrastinate obscenely…changing this now)</p>
<p>Val is smart but lazy/easily distracted/refuses to study/talks back in class/is rude/gives away answers/skips</p>
<p>eastafro is very bright but she doesn’t put it to good use and is an underachiever.</p>
<p>eastafro is funny but she talks too loud and can get a little racist sometimes.</p>
<p>Eh, you’d be surprised at how many people get annoyed by my French.</p>
<p>The main complaint I get is that I look sad. Adults at school always tell me to smile. My geometry teacher seemed very concerned. The senior with the baby blues (really perfect, he won the superlative for prettiest eyes) on quiz team worried about me, especially since he had also thought that my sister appeared triste.</p>
<p>I get the smart/lazy a lot.
I also get the “He knows the answers, but I can’t read what he writes.” I have really bad writing.</p>
<p>Hahaha yeah same here, for both</p>
<p>she’s hot but she won’t even let anyone in her pants</p>
<p>(both compliments to me…lol</p>
<p>Nice but a jerk/arrogant (although I don’t think I’m either of those)</p>
<p>Things I’ve never been told but I would be more inclined to believe:
Good ideas but no initiative
Nice but awkward/annoying/weird
Bright but close-minded (I can be stubborn and unwilling to listen)</p>
<p>I’ll have another go.
Vertigo is nice but aloof. I’m entirely sociable, but am a little standoffish (I’m working on that).</p>
<p>CPA is funny but incredibly awkward</p>
<p>Nomita is funny but has a large ego at times…</p>
<p>Unconfidential is amiable/ aloof (at times).
Unconfidential is (insert synonyms of ‘good-looking’ here)/ refuses to date anyone.</p>
<p>
Just wait until you do. Then it turns into [name] dated * that *? There’s never a happy-medium…somebody’s always going to be harping at ya :p</p>
<p>Yes. Their opinions are their opinions, so I couldn’t care less. ;)</p>
<p>And it seems that you and I and both distant people. :)</p>
<p>Yep…it comes with the raving genius territory.
Actually, I don’t really have an excuse in being closed-off. It’s not as if the person that I encounter daily, on average, bothers me greatly. I’m not overtly intelligent; I feel that I think of mundane things a good portion of my day. Guess it was just luck of the draw, heh. Here’s to meeting some like-minded odd people in college, then. :D</p>
<p>Billy is eloquent, but radical. (This gets said a lot, with “radical” varying as “extreme” or even “terrorist” as one teacher - a friend - has put it. My response is a Martin Luther King Jr quote, “When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.”)</p>
