(Not) Really!
She: "It must be so easy being you."
Me: "How so?"
She: "You wouldnt know an insult even if it WASNT veiled in a compliment"
Me: "What?!"
She: "Seeeee?"
Did she just call me a ignorant pushover?!!!
So why do that anyway? Hiding an insult in a compliment is like filling a cream puff with curdled cream! Why eat through all that near-tasteless pastry if all you get at the end is a stomach ache?
Freud suggested insecurity as the 3rd layer. (The first 2 being the compliment and the insult!) I am not a freudian when it comes to human nature. I find myself more inclined to Skinner's more progressionist views. The latter assumes that human nature is all about the influence.
Eitherways the people around us are in for it! If it isnt our insecurities that cause us to sound-off, we're going to be under-the-influence (of alcohol, people?). And when was the last time you heard of anyone being a good influence?

I wouldnt call you a pushover. But being ignorant to others "hidden" comments might be a good thing, wouldnt you say?
