Putting both feet in

Has anyone ever tried to say something to make someone feel better, or as a compliment, only for it to backfire or make the situation worse??

Does anyone have any entertaining examples??

A family member the other day was talking about having cosmetic surgery and asked what people thought. When it was my turn to answer I just said if you have the money and it makes you happy then surely it’s up to the individual.

They then asked what I’d specifically do… I like to be diplomatic but I don’t like to lie to people either

So I said, if I felt such that my self-worth was defined by the size of a certain body part, I’d spend the money on talking therapy instead

I meant it in a way that this person looked nice as it was, they don’t need to do anything silly!!! However it came across differently

Oops :neutral:
