Depends on my mood and on the person, but I honestly don't mind giving compliments.

Still, it can be annoying. So I try not to complain about myself as much as possible >__< even if I want to! If can't help it, I usually give a disclaimer that I'm not fishing... which probably makes it seem that I am fishing for compliments. Bleh.

Depends on my mood. If I feel like being nice I'll rub your ego, but if I'm in a bad mood I'll just ignore you. I don't fish for anything when they call me conceited I laugh and say "I'm not conceited I'm convinced." hahaha throws them for a loop.

If one of my friends does that, I'll be sarcastic with them.
But generally I'm a pushover who just says, "you look fine" because most of the time they do anyway, or else I just don't care.

Hmmmm, delicious narcissism. (funny word innit? narcissism)

On topic.
I'm not really one for social conventions, I don't like suger coating my words, but what I hate the most is when people ask a question but really only expect a specific answer.
That shit pisses me off. If you don't want my opinion, don't ask the question.
So if someone asks me a question to which they expect a certain answer, I tend to be as blunt as I can.

Not only do I agree, i find that people who tend to ask for said questions don't particularly think of whats going to come out of my mouth when they first ask the question.

I ignore them or just compliment them if I dont feel like getting into any conflict.

I'm not going to flat out agree with a self-deprecating comment but I probably won't feed their need for attention in almost all cases. There are VERY few exceptions.

1. If the person actually means it when they say that their ugly or stupid or whatever. ie, I have a friend in the pre-med program at UVA who suddenly thinks she's stupid, now that she's in classes with some of the best young minds in the state
2. If the person really, really needs the positive reinforcement because the rest of their life is going to hell (and by that, I mean their mom just died or something)
   In both cases, I'd have to know the person very well in order to determine if they really, truly need to hear it.

As for me, it's pretty rare for me to fish for compliments. I stopped in third grade when my babysitter answered my "I'm ugly" with a "Don't worry; all the kids that were ugly in elementary school turned out very pretty."
And now, I usually feel uncomfortable because it feels like people seem to think I'm smarter than I actually am.

I am a breath of insanity in a world of chaos.
