[quote=Anonymous]I think like others have said, who is saying it and what they are saying it about is key. An acquaintance saying 'I'm so proud of you' to someone who lost weight? No super condescending. A friend saying it to someone who just say, completed their college degree as an adult? Totally appropriate. If someone worked really hard at something, struggled to achieve it, and you know that because of your personal relationship with them then it is great but if you are using it as a backhanded compliment that is where it is troublesome.[/quote]
