It depends on who says it and how. I get exasperated with fake sympathy and half compliments. I also get frustrated with being held up as an inspiration because I've figured out how to do something on my own.
OTOH I appreciate true compliments, and am especially happy when they come on days when I feel like crap. Then again, if I'm out when I feel bad I usually look okay - it helps my attitude to dress the part before I load up on pain meds.
