'You're so lucky you don't care what people think about you': 20+ backhanded compliments that left people shook

In life, you're bound to get compliments and critiques, but every so often you receive a comment that is a frustrating mix of both. Usually, when this kind of thing happens to me, I am too shocked to do anything productive about it. My brain is still processing what was just said, so no part of me has the mental capacity to fabricate a witty comeback. By the time I have come up with something to say in return, the conversation has been over for a long time. At that point, I am probably in the shower sulking and seething with resentment whilst replaying the whole exchange over and over again in my head. Of course, there is nothing I can do, and the productive thing would be to move on.

However, anyone who has received a stinging backhanded compliment before knows that we take these comments with us. The only bright side here is remembering that you are certainly not the only person to have gotten this kind of so-called "unsolicited feedback." Keep scrolling below for this collection of backhanded compliments that still haunt these Redditors to this day. When you're done, check out this list of wholesome posts for overworked employees.
