Pisces

The compliments that sit wrong are usually the ones that praise you for something you never meant to put on display. They catch you being something you thought you were keeping private, or they celebrate a version of yourself that feels like a costume you forgot you were wearing. What stings is not that the praise is false but that it is true about a part of you that was supposed to be invisible. You realize you have been broadcasting signals you did not know you were sending, and now someone has received them and reflected them back. The discomfort is not about the words but about being seen in a way you were not prepared to be seen.
