Clueless.

All my life I've been wanting someone to tell me that I'm beautiful. I felt the need to be adored by someone. Specifically a guy.

Now out of nowhere a guy comes and tells me I'm cute. Not just once. Every single day. I've never had friends; Kind of an introvert. And he is the only friend I have, I could say. We've been friends for about half an year now. He always tells me I'm cute. But he also said that he doesn't have a crush on me or something. Well, that's not the problem here. He says I'm freaking cute and I can't freaking digest it. Why can't I seem to accept what I wanted for a long time?

1. How is he able to tell me I'm cute right into my face? I mean, I could never tell someone that they are beautiful directly to them.

2. I don't think I'm cute.

3. Even if I were cute, I can't seem to accept it and I'm flustered all of a sudden when he says I am.

These things are haunting me. Why can't I seem to accept this little thing? Someone please tell me what to do.

    Firstly it is totally normal for someone to say that you are cute specially if that person is your friend doesn't require that person to necessarily have crush on you .. I am also the type of person who would compliment people if I like anything about them and trust me I mean it because there is no specific reason or your friend won't really get anything by giving you compliments ... it's just you who needs to learn how to take the compliments and I think the first step should be by you starting to appreciating yourself... like there would be moments look at yourself and smile while looking into the mirror , smile is literally the smallest thing that makes everyone look beautiful so you will like that about yourself too ... secondly you need to learn why you feel this certain way that you aren't cute , is it because you are comparing yourself to somebody else ? Is it because you don't give enough compliments to yourself? Or is it because you don't take enough care of yourself? I know these things might sound ridiculous maybe to some but just try to find the reason behind that mentality of urs and just look for the answer or the solution whatever suits you and start being more confident in yourself...

    And trust me nobody is really ugly there would always be someone to whom you are really beautiful and adorable, maybe that friend of urs is one of those so appreciating him being confident enough to tell you so 💜

    remember that the eye is in the beholder . In his eyes you are cute. It might seem hard to accept, but enjoy the feeling!

    He said he likes me. Right. Into My. Face. But I can't believe it. I just can't accept the fact that someone likes me. I mean why would someone like me?...

    I swear my parents are the biggest joy stealers and drainers anymore. Total buzz kills. I just needed help with an issue and they talk with tones like they have...
