Backhanded Compliment
In this #ThatWasCold moment, someone received a remark that could be taken as a compliment, but it seems like it was said with a condescending tone. The person used an “aww” at the beginning of their comment, which made it sound like they were talking to a child.
They also used the word “trying,” as in “you’re trying to style,” which implies that the person is making an effort but not necessarily succeeding. It’s like saying, “Nice try.” This kind of condescending tone is unnecessary, especially since everyone has their own subjective taste when it comes to decorating their home.
