clothes
My friend Monique has a lot of clothes (which are beatiful). She lives with her mom. And her mom does compliment her a lot (just not every day) on how beatiful Moniques clothes are. This morning Monique was wearing a lime green sweater and her mom told that she loved the sweater. Monique started to wonder why her mother didnt tell her that the sweater she wore yesterday was beautiful. So she asked her mother; why didnt you say my sweater yesterday was beautiful. Her mother said; Monique stop being insecure. It is like if you said to me gee mom you look good today, I wouldnt think you did not think I looked good yesterday; MY QUESTION: DO YOU THINK MONIQUE IS OVERREACTING.

Yes, I think she is overreacting. If you compliment someone too much, they get stuck up and feel like they're better than everyone else, and her mom probably realizes that. But yeah, she's overreacting.

Yes, I think she is overreacting. I'm sure her mother thinks she looks good everyday, but maybe she thought today that Monique needed a pick-me-up, so she complimented her.
Her mother is right in saying that she shouldn't be so insecure. She knows that her mother thinks her clothes are beautiful without having to hear it all the time. Correct?
It would make both Monique and her mother feel better if when Mom gives a compliment, Monique says with sincerity, "Oh, why, thank you, Mom. That is very sweet of you to say that," instead of feeling hurt that she wasn't complimented yesterday.
Mom is trying to make her feel good about herself, not make her feel insecure.

Yes, Monique is overreacting.
Compliments are something that should be said every once in awhile, and only when truley meant. That's why whenever people recieve compliments, they feel good and are in a good mood.
If you were told every single day you looked good, it'd get a worn out, wouldn't it? I think it would.
I'm sure her mother thinks she looks good everyday and loves all of her sweaters and outfits, she just might've like the lime green one alot more than others or something.
Plus, complimenting someone every single day can sometimes turn a person vain, and her mother might not want her daughter becoming that.
I hope I helped.

Monique is over-reacting. Her mom can't tell her how lovely she looks every day or it would lose its value. Maybe she really liked the lime green sweater.
I think Monique is too hard on herself. She should be happy her mom loves her so much and try and focus on that, not on what her mother isn't saying. :0)

probably, maybe the sweater she wore yesterday wasn't as cute as she wore today. It not that big of a deal.she is overreacting!

I think Monique is over reacting. Nobody can expect someone to compliment them on every single thing, everyday. Every once in a while a compliment is nice to give and get.
Monique's mom probably just thought it would be nice to compliment her today. Maybe Monique was feeling a little down and her mom felt it might cheer her up to hear she looked nice. :)
