I'm such a hypocrite ...

I'm such a hypocrite that I really annoy the hell out of myself.  At least that's what I think I am ... maybe I've got the wrong word.

In my everyday life I try hard to be a nice person (sometimes it just doesn't work out though!).  I'm honest and I can't seem to ever find the words that help to smooth out what it is I'm saying and it comes across as being nasty.  That's just one of my faults but I believe that anyone who really knows me knows that I don't mean it as harsh as it sounds.

Okay, well enough about that fault ... let's move onto the next fault.

As I said I try to be nice in my everyday life and pay compliments or give words of encouragement whenever I can.  When I do this, again, as anyone who knows me knows that I mean it and I'm not just saying it.

So, this is where I'm a hypocrite (or whatever word is the correct word).

I tell you I like something you did.  I tell you you're a great person.  I tell you that you're wonderfully talented.  I tell you I like your top.  I tell you I like your hairstyle.  I tell you I admire you.  Yadda Yadda Yadda.  The bottom line is I'm honest, sincere and really mean it.  Afterall I don't have to say anything at all.

So, why is it when someone pays me a compliment I'm looking for the Bazinga that's about to smack me across the face?  I don't believe them - I think they're just saying it to be nice and not hurt my feelings.

Why can I not just accept the compliment and believe that they're saying it to me in the same gesture that I give my compliments?

Why, as soon as someone gives me a compliment do I feel the need to start analyzing it?

Does anyone else ever do this or am I just more so of a freak than I thought?

It's been a while since I've written and I'm thinking I need to get my ass outta its rut and move on.
