Original Advice
“DONT: Don't read every compliment as commitment or safety.”
Compliments Aren’t Contracts, Pisces
Attention is not affection. Politeness is not promise. Sweet words can be airbrushed masks. Someone’s 'you’re amazing' can be habit, strategy, or noise. You keep mistaking sparkles for shelter and handing out keys to people who only visited the porch. Don’t. Let compliments pass through you like weather. Let your body register them without signing a lease. Not every smile wants your softness.
Flattery travels light; commitment carries weight. People toss praise to grease gears, deflect conflict, or borrow your glow. That’s their economy, not your altar. Your gift is empathy, and empathy is hungry. Feed it discernment. Look for repetition, effort, inconvenience, reciprocity. Notice who shows up after the glitter. Measure actions over time. Leave blanks uncolored. If it isn’t backed by behavior, file it under weather, not architecture.
Cosmic Context
Neptune swells your empathy; porous borders turn whispers into thunder. Guard your ocean: let currents move, anchor to the seabed of proof.
Action
──────Pause three breaths before responding to praise; ask one question.
✨ You are allowed to enjoy warmth without translating it into vows. ✨
