I know it should, but it bothers me so much when people try to compliment me over something that doesn't mean a thing. Yes, I occasionally have a self-depricating sense of humour (when it isn't the opposite). That does not mean I'm fishing for compliments. Even if I seriously insult myself, I do not want the compliments. I don't understand why certain people, to whom I've actually told this, refuse to get that idea through their skulls. I may have insecurities, but I am not insecure enough that anything you can say to me is going to at all affect my self worth. Try again.
