Taurus

A compliment that lands wrong usually tells you something about the person giving it, not about you. When someone praises the version of you that requires the least from them, they are asking you to stay small in a specific way. You can hear it in how they describe your patience when they mean your silence, or your flexibility when they mean your willingness to bend around their schedule. The compliment that makes you feel hollow afterward is the one that celebrates you for disappearing just enough to make their life easier. What they are really saying is thank you for not asking for more.
