Learn To Take a Complement

I’m listening to a group of women argue over the wording of a complement. One thinks an acknowledgement of her growth implies her immaturity. No. Her stubborn refusal to accept the subject has been addressed reflects her immaturity. This woman she’s calling condescending is her boss, but she objects to the tone. The boss was generous to listen and clarify her flattery. What’s wrong with accepting this and saying “thank you”.
Ladies, why do we do this to each other? Why is kindness a threat?

Charlie Brown: It's stupid to just sit here and admire that little red haired girl from a distance. It's stupid not to get up and go over and talk to her.

Charlie Brown: It's really stupid! It's just plain stupid; so why I don't I go over and talk to her?

Charlie Brown: Because I'm stupid.
