[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Telling someone she looks tired is basically telling them they look like crap. It's not even close to complimentary. Stop saying it to people. You're probably making your friends feel worse but they're too polite to call you out for it. [/b]

Her acne bothers her. Don't be dismissive of her feelings.

If you want her to stop complaining about acne because it makes you self conscious about your own skin, tell her that. Just a quick, "my skin really bothers me and I feel like it's worse than yours. When you criticize acne skin, it feels like you're criticizing me too. Would you mind not saying things like that?"

See? Some people say "you look tired" because they actually care about you, PP.[/quote]

Then why not ask how I am feeing instead of critiquing my appearance? Because that's basically what saying I look tired is doing. What makes you think someone looks tired? It's not a compliment. So instead of making it be about someone's appearance, why not ask how they are or how you can help, since you care? [/quote]
