Nikita D’silva elaborates on an undignified dating trend making the rounds

Con Or Compliment?

Have you ever heard such remarks? If you’re nodding, know that you’re a victim of negging. The urban dictionary describes this flirting method as, ‘low-grade insults meant to undermine the self-confidence of a woman so she might be more vulnerable to your advances.’ Dr. Seema Hingorany, author and clinical psychologist with a private practice in Mumbai, elaborates on this toxic dating pattern. “Negging is an abbreviation of ‘negative comments’, and is an extremely unhealthy and harmful dating behavior, whereby a person in a relationship puts the partner down by being overly critical and undermining the person’s self-worth or bypassing indirect comments which hurt or devalue the other person.”

"UGH, I HATE HOW I LOOK!"

If the title to this feature is a sentence that goes off in your head every time you stand in front of the mirror, you need to keep reading. No, this is not your run-of-the-mill self-love spiel that will magically change your self-image by the end. It won't. And it definitely won't silence the voices that have told you to fix, hide, and erase parts of you deemed “too much” or “not enough”. What it will do is offer something rare: a reason, however small, to stop waging war with your reflection, and feel a little better about coming home to the person who's been there all along. You.
