Thank you so much to everyone who complimented me! You all made me really happy. :)

But here’s the thing. Although I’ve been complimented a bunch on this thread, I used to be one of those people who never got any compliments, and I know how that feels. Awful. And even if you’re a lesser-known CBer and you do get compliments, they never feel particularly sincere.

And I feel like I’m terrible at complimenting people on the CB, since I don’t actually really know anyone, and if I just compliment the people I do feel like I know (though I don’t even know how I get it in my head that I feel like I know those people any more than any of the rest of you), I feel awful for leaving other people out. Plus, I’ve been fading away from the CB a little bit (you know how it goes... school...), and I’ve noticed an odd tendency of mine to not actually notice who posts what, and for both of these reasons I’m starting to feel like I just don’t really know anyone. 

So all of this is to say that I don’t think I can compliment anyone today, and I’m vaguely uncomfortable with the idea of compliment threads in general. I’m sorry! I know this is an unpopular opinion! But that’s just how I’m feeling right now. :(

More compliments!! :)

(I really really wish I had the time to compliment everybody school's annoying ugh)

rinoftheforest: You're so kind and sweet and have such interesting posts. Your bunny is adorable. :) I'd love to get to know you better!

Majestic Mary: You're clever and amazing and fun and interesting and all of the things. You have the coolest ideas.

RR: You're so cool. Period. You're happy and upbeat and fun. :D

moonshine, MoonHalo, Pizza Roll, and all other new CBers: I don't know any of you very well yet, but you sound awesome and I can't wait to see what you contribute. :)

Sadly, I really need to go do homework, but maybe I'll be back. One last thing:

EVERYBODY (and I mean all of you): Every single one of you is amazing. You all bring something special and the CB brightens my day. You are creative, amazing people. All of you. 

embers to ashes- for a second I forgot you were surrounded by books but then I was like oh yeah haha that's SBB. Anyways, I just wanted to thank you for doing so many fun posts (doing fun posts? is that how people say it? idk) like the compliment thread uwu okie im done with this one

aqua- I LOVE YOU! Not in an romantic way, but like you're one of those people/CBers that I stalk and watch and  decide that I like so then I finally gather the courage to talk to you and it kinda fails >_< haha  Also, I love your emoticons! I use them all the time now. let's count how many are in here so far: 1 in the location box, another in the age box, one in SBB's compliment, and yet ANOTHER in yours. Seriously. This is a medical problem. 

Kitty Cat- haha I distinctly remember clicking on your picturings thread and predicting that it was going to be anime-style drawings XD But I was wrong! I love your art style and you remind me of Chickadee!

Velvet Serpent- So I feel like you're always lurking around and being mysterious, so my brain was like "whoa that person's coouol" and so I always read your posts and I was so honored when you asked me for a picturing as Cosme Nadia. മ◡മ I hope you liked it bc that was one of my picturings that took pretty long. a n y w a y s this compliment probably won't mean much to you since you don't know me (or I never talked to you at least) but I hope that I didn't just take five minutes to bare my heart and soul for nothing. h e h  h e h

Bakerloo! I love your Æs and I think you're just really cool ,,,^.^,,, 

More!

Sybil: (forgive me if I spelled your name wrong) I don't know you as well as I'd like to, but judging by the super awesome looking RP you posted, you are super great at creating characters! As I read the character discription, I really want to read a whole novel about each one. I can't join the RP now, but I will for sure be reading it! 

But I also think they can bring lots of good and positivity. On the last compliment thread, I was feeling kinda left out because I didn't get complimented, but this time I was just happy reading how much everybody admires everyone else. I don't know, think it's complicated. 

Hi everyone- I thought I'd jump in and do my best to spread a little more love.

(First, though, thank you so much, Nightfall! <3)

Second: being left out sucks. It really does. I'm sad it's something people might feel on the CB- a place where I've only felt welcome and safe. Compliment threads are something I've always been grateful for and happy to post on- but I've definitely left some people out. Here's what I'd like you to understand, all: it's hard to remember everyone. We can't scan a classroom or a hallway and remember just who we'd like to compliement. We can't have all the words just materealize on the page, just how they would apply to everyone.

We don't do it on purpose. We do see you. But it's a little harder to compliment people who maybe we don't see very often, and it's even harder to give them a sincere compliment. That doesn't mean you haven't contributed anything. It doesn't mean you're going unnoticed. It doesn't mean we don't like you! 

Can I tell you what the "everyone" compliment is for? It's a recognition to everyone who hasn't been mentioned- because when a CBer adds an "everyone" compliment, they're saying they realize they didn't quite get everyone, but that they also know everyone is valid and has something awesome to offer to the CB. 

Could I make a suggestion? It's an idea I remember from a previous compliment thread. Every time someone makes a post, they HAVE to compliment one person who has yet to receive a compliment, therefore including more people!

Thanks lovelies, and I hope you have a good day <3 

@Hawthorne, I love your art style and it's awesome that you're still keeping up with Inktober!(I failed Inktober really early on xD)
