Compliments I am getting zero appreciation as a woman and women need compliments just like they need food and water. I worked at a grocery store as a cashier for 2 months. The last week I was working there I wore perfume and I had 200 or more customers a day. No one complimented me on my perfume. Now I volunteer at the library and no one mentions my perfume either. No one ever says I love your makeup Great shirt, or anything. It makes me feel sick and hopeless. I even posted on Italki asking people to compliment me every day and no one was interested.

Compliments

I am getting zero appreciation as a woman and women need compliments just like they need food and water. I worked at a grocery store as a cashier for 2 months. The last week I was working there I wore perfume and I had 200 or more customers a day. No one complimented me on my perfume. Now I volunteer at the library and no one mentions my perfume either. No one ever says "I love your makeup", "Great shirt", or anything. It makes me feel sick and hopeless. I even posted on Italki asking people to compliment me every day and no one was interested.

 

[Well, for starters, your written English is excellent.  As a male of the species, I can tell you that many men will like your perfume.  I would not say anything, though, because many women would think it forward of me.  They might think I was looking for romance and be offended.  Most other people, unless they know you quite well, would hesitate to say anything for the same reasons.]

"I am getting zero appreciation as a woman" sounds like something an older man would think a woman would write, not something a young woman would actually say at all. Why would that be do you think?

Hey nice kitten. Those with nice kittens often have pleasent personalities.

I now feel stupid. I realize that you are a native English speaker and I answered too fast. I had no business correcting you. My apologies. My other comments still stand, however.
