The Rules

In person I can’t go anywhere without someone wanting to ask me about it and gushing about how cool it is.

That's just confirmation bias my dude...

I have seen people out there with clothes, accessories, hairdo, make up that makes me want to vomit... but I am not an asshole and this is not my problem so I do nothing....

On the other hand, I have seen as many people with clothes, accessories, hairdo or make up that makes me want to say "wow, that is so cool"... being a positive thing, I do sometimes tell them "Bud, what an awesome shirt!"... "wow those glasses are super cool!", etc

The point being, it takes different types of people/attitudes/effort to go out of your way to give a compliment vs an insult... insulting people is harder and riskier, therefore you will see much less of it (how many people go out of their way to warn you you have a bugger hanging out or lettuce on your teeth?)
