I’ve had to entirely change the way I behave around men. I used to give everyone compliments, I like making other people feel good by acknowledging good things about them. But then these men want more, or develop feelings, and I’m absolutely clueless bc I really did just mean it to be a compliment with no hidden meaning. I’m much more careful with what I say, how I say things, and the frequency of any compliments I want to give now (which unfortunately have decreased a lot as a consequence).

Yup, it sucks. Give a compliment with no hidden meaning, and then get harassed, they think you want to fuck them, etc etc. And really, men should be complimenting each other since if they're starved for attention, and build each other up. This isn't on women. And take a compliment at face value instead of thinking the person who gave the compliment wants to fuck them/is romantically interested, may get them more positive attention overall.
