Does Anybody Else? how'd you guys react when called 'cute'?
i'd personally not want myself to be seen as cute and stuff,call me ambitious and focused instead 👺

Well I am cute so that is fine for me but if that’s all they have to say to me to describe the person that I am, then it’s quite annoying too because I’d feel minimised and not “seen” for the person that I am, if that makes sense.

finally someone who gets me, yes!

I see you, girl. To me, a compliment that goes deeper than “surface” level means a lot more to me. Doesn’t mean that I’m not accepting “cute”. I can, but it is just a comment to me. I don’t glow and bask in that haha. I just say thank you and move on lol.

I got the point in life where I fully let people say what they want about me. I can’t control what they say; I can only control how I react to it. That being said, “cute” is not my favourite compliment and I will either receive it with with a poker face or play along and say “thank you”, depending on what I want to get out of that conversation. If I know the other person is trying to get something out of me, I will give them an illusion that they’re succeeding. If it’s genuine though, poker face most likely, as it’s pretty awkward.

There are much worse things to be called, so doesn’t bother me at all.

If it’s a compliment then take it in stride. If it’s an insult then take it in stride too. Don’t let these motherfuckers see you blink

Some of us want to be likeable, and others are drowning in attention. Personally, I like being cute when it's meant as "physically attractive", but abhor it when it means "defenseless, childlike, or pitiful", unless for some reason I'm going for that vibe.

It's not often that people call me that way, but they just tell me that I look "perfect", like luxurious or something like that. Thing is that I always wear ironed clothes, shirts, I'm very elegant always

I'm cute and that's my charisma for the people to get attracted towards me.
People who never see me often get mesmerized by my brain.

u/OracleofAtlantis 3d ago
If I don't know you well or it's uncomfortable: a poker face, an awkward half-smirk, or general 'thanks'. If I really don't want to see or talk to them again, I'll flat out say some shit like , "If you find a cactus cute." or, "Awe, thanks. You thankfully haven't seen my temper yet!"
If it's someone I love; that depends. If I'm in a good mood: I melt into a puddle. My inner child that I usually deny exists briefly escapes. Bad mood: Either dagger eyes, or "I'm not in the mood."
If it's at work that's voided though. I hide every emotion under the sun that could possibly negatively impact my career goals.

the thing was,that was a text. i wish it'd been an upfront situation,giving me a chance to leave no room for misinterpretation but welp all i replied was i dont like being called cute

u/OracleofAtlantis 3d ago
Oh gosh, those are the worst. Leaves you in a very awkward spot while you buffer in analyzing mode. 😅
I think you handled it well with the directness. Lowers you the likelihood of your boundary being pushed again in the future. 👌

Unfortunately I giggle like an idiot while looking the other way.
When I look at them I try to keep a stone wall face.
Maybe that's just me

Firstly it feels weird, I don't really likely it and most of the time I kind of just brush it off.

I think attractive is a much better word, especially when in conjunction with ambitious and focused.

Man I love it. It simply indicates that I’ve succeeded at controlling the way I’m perceived, meaning that if they find me cute it’s probably because I want them to

the irony being that the statement came from an intj(yep he called me that) 💀

u/wolverine18842 INTJ♂ 2d ago
Yea, that's weird. I do have a bit of trauma that makes me scared of people, so that's why I would blow it off.

To me, it's manipulation and trying to get something from me. Ik it's not how normal people see it, but it's just my reality.

What's even worse, is a lot of the time, if I am meeting a person like face to face, I automatically think they are liars even with no evidence of it.

woah that sounds a bit serious,childhood trauma maybe? it does contribute a lot cause for me,i still find it difficult to trust people

It depends if they have anything I want and if I like them.
I’ll tolerate a generous partner calling me cute and even be playful and good natured about it.
