Nothing wrong with them. If we ran into each other, we’d be totally friendly. But that’s the difference. I just feel like it can get awkward. It depends on who ended it or who it is. It’s situational. But for mostly, no. No, no,” she concluded with a nervous laugh. “I feel like that’s awkward.”

Dear Fonseca,
I heard you say that today is National Compliment Day. As soon as you said it I decided to write and tell you about something that happened to me at work last week. One of our Junior Managers paid me a compliment and told me I look great for my age. The entire lunch room went silent. Some co-workers gasped. It was a heavy topic of conversation for the rest of the afternoon as to whether it was a compliment or a veiled insult. I'm confused. Is it a compliment or an insult? What does it mean when someone says that? Some co-workers think I should file a complaint with HR.
