Compliment or Insult? šŸ˜­šŸ—

What was the best compliment you’ve received?

The best compliment I ever received didn’t come from a teacher, a crush, or even my parents…
It came from my friend… while I was eating.
Yes. Eating.
I was seriously focused—rice in one hand, chicken in the other, not talking to anybody, just minding my business like a professional foodie.
Then my friend looked at me and said:
“You’re the only person I know that eats like this and still looks good.”
I paused.
Mid-bite.
Because first of all… what does ā€œeats like thisā€ mean?? 
Second of all… are you saying I eat like a wild animal?? 
But at the same time… ā€œstill looks goodā€???
So I didn’t even know whether to fight or to say thank you.
In the end, I just nodded and continued eating…
Because priorities.
And honestly, till today, I still don’t know if that was a compliment or an insult—but I accepted it with full confidence
