Last week a custodian at my university complimented me saying that I had a pretty smile. He said it in an overly friendly and enthusiastic voice. I was flattered yet felt a bit weird at the same time.
Yesterday when I ran into him again he complimented me again even though this time I gave a muted closed lip smile. Ngl I felt a bit irritated and crabby because it’s the end of the semester and I’m burdened with upcoming papers, presentations, and finals- I literally didn’t sleep for almost two days straight and I’m tired and stressed AF.
I guess that if it’s just a one time compliment, that’s one thing. But if it’s repeated, that does feel a bit off. In addition if a male professor said something similar to me that would be undeniably weird and questionable.
