This guy I knew through a group of friends said, “You are pretty…enough." 

Any time I’ve ever repeated that to someone they’ve rolled their eyes and said what a jerk he is. We usually just laugh it off. 

But every once in a while when I don’t feel that confident or attractive…I will think of that and it just echoes through my head. It bothers me that without prompt, he evaluated my looks and felt the need to tell me. It bothers me that every once in a while I believe it.
