Oh, I see. You skipped over the part where I was being complimentary to the person, telling him he had done well. No I read that part and you followed with the I might not necessarily mean it meaning your compliment wasn’t genuine. You mean like, "My, that's a lovely dress you are wearing"? Or would you prefer "Who sold you that raggy piece of shit"? |

Or would you prefer "Who sold you that raggy piece of shit"? Just don’t say anything but to answer your question yes, I’d rather someone tell me my dress is ugly if that’s what they think. So I wasn’t wrong about what you were saying. So no, I don’t trust people who speak just to have something to say and your example is one reason why. |

So you are what we call in the business, 'female genitalia'.
You must be fun at parties, if you're invited to any.

Marilyn, you're too good for him. Anyone that plays head games like that... That person is most likely a Narcissist. You know they cannot care about anyone but themselves. Find a genuine human being to spend time with. Don't fall into the trap. Not everyone who says foul things is a narcissist, don’t you and Marilyn think you attract them? Marilyn is a psych nurse, and I've been raised by a Narcissistic Mother, who at age 96, is still telling me I've never done enough for her, even though I've handled her finances successfully enough that she has the means to stay in a private nursing home rather than a state-run one (she's physically and mentally impaired enough that she can't live in home without 24/7/365 care) but I haven't quit my job, sold my farm, put down all my animals so I can move in with her and take care of her yet (though I have physical limitations and couldn't do that if I wanted to.) It's never enough. When I die of a an aneurism because my head has exploded, she will have carved on my tombstone "She never did enough for me." That's how she acted after my father died; he never did enough for her. He was a good man and a good father, and he didn't deserve to be bad-mouthed after his death for fourteen years. Perhaps I see Narcissists more quickly because I've been dealing with one since birth. Maybe we see Narcissist behavior faster than others because we've seen so much of it. We know what their behavior is. And yes, you hit a nerve. |

Are you saying that your significant other told you they didn't think you could do better than them?
Ask them to clarify themselves. If their assessment doesn't change...
DUMP THEIR ASS. AND SHOW THEM HOW WELL YOU DO WITHOUT THEM.
ANYONE CAN ALWAYS DO BETTER. |

It sounds like an insult but it could be a compliment to the person you are with and the person who said it to you is jealous you are with that person. If it was your partner saying it to you in the context of the George Canyon song "I'll never do better than you, I have already done the best that I can do" it could be seen as a compliment but from another person it is either an insult or they like your partner.
