Yeah, I can't trust most compliments given to me

Ironically enough, I live in the same nation this test was taken in—Turkey!

The only time I actually believed compliments that were given to me were

  1. Referencing something I never thought about: "Your hair is so nice!"
  2. Mentioning my appearance for the future or with conditions: "You would look pretty handsome if you just grew an inch and got muscle"
  3. Consistently mentioned or talked about in an unexpected moment: "Hey, you look pretty damn handsome in this picture"
