Even when I put in effort. The comments are usual non specific “ you look nice”
Or “ wow look at you” That’s all. Am I ugly? |

Why do you care? I rarely get specific compliments, and I never get general compliments. I still think I look pretty darn good! |

| Complement yourself. You put in extra effort because you like the way it makes you feel. Own your beauty, inside and out! |

If it's somewhere like work, people are less likely to comment effusively or specifically on your looks; harassment training and all that.

| I have been married 25 years and my husband rarely gives me a compliment but I know I look good. I get compliments from co-workers and friends but don't really care if they give them or not because I know I look good. OP, if you know you look good, why do you care what others think? You shouldn't. |

| I honestly NEVER get compliments on my looks. My hair, my outfit, anything. I also know Im not that bad looking. Im a solid average. Im also really friendly and compliment others often. I have no idea. I stopped trying to figure it out honestly! |

| Are you male or female? I was very attractive and complimented on my looks constantly from birth through my 20s. Once I hit my 30s....nothing. I'm not necessarily *ugly* now, but in our culture, women are usually only found attractive if they are under 30. |

Yes, you're ugly as sin.
The end. |

| I don't even get that, OP. And I know I'm ugly. |

| fwiw I probably comment on my stunningly beautiful friends' looks the least. |

| I think it's better than fake compliments with an agenda. A few friends of mine apparently think I should work harder on my appearance (more makeup, contacts vs. glasses, spending more time on my hair) so they go overboard with the praise whenever I do a little more in that area. (a friend told me this was happening.) It's kind of annoying. Sometimes I just don't have the time to spare! |

Those sound like compliments to me. |

Am I crazy for thinking "you look nice" or "wow look at you" are compliments? I tell people they look nice all the time and I mean it when I say it.

No, you sound the opposite of crazy, unlike OP. |
