I often worry that I shouldn't compliment someone's hair for example, because maybe they don't like it and me mentioning will let them know that people are looking at it and make them think about it more.

A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, start the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

It's far more likely that you'd reassure them it's better than they think it is :)
Almost nobody dislikes a sincere compliment.
Wouldn't them feeling self conscious about it be EVEN MORE of a reason to compliment them ?
Yes! Part of the point of the comic is to illustrate why you SHOULD give the compliment instead of talking yourself out of it.
Yeah my point being that I don't understand the logic of the snail deciding to not comment because they think their friend is self conscious.
That's like deciding to not offer someone water because they look thirsty. It just fundamentally makes no sense.
Remember to compliment someone today!
Aww...
