You know what really sucks about being raised in Polish culture? You learn to always expect criticism and sarcasm.
Someone tells you a compliment? In the best case, you feel uneasy about it. In the worst, you start suspecting it was veiled sarcasm.
Once I've read here a suggestion to compliment strangers. I don't know if I'll ever be able to do that. I'd keep worrying that I may be misunderstood, either as being sarcastic or as expecting something.
