基本的にあなたの様な可愛い方に悪口はいいませんので、言われた言葉は全部褒め言葉と思って間違いないです🥰

From my perspective as a Japanese person, all of those are compliments! I’d be super happy if someone said them to me (though no one ever has😭). You are absolutely adorable❤️It’s so interesting how compliments vary by country😆 Thank you for sharing this with me✨

Not true in Norway, Sweden, German or Denmark: they don't talk at all about how big or small faces are, but are very interested in hights. Most also think eastern-Asians look beautyful✨

大学の比較文化の授業では絶対教えないリアルこそ、本当は役に立つんだよね。知らないで使った言葉が実は失礼な言葉だったりする、例えば、ダディ…うっかり言ったら🤮とかね。

「手足が長い」とか「首が長い」っていうのも日本だと褒め言葉になるし「お尻が小さい」も日本だとポジティブな意味になるよね。個人的にはお尻は大きい方が良いと思うけど。

I’m Japanese, so I understand exactly what you’re saying. And yes, they’re definitely compliments.

having double eyelid is also. Some mothers are even sick when their babies don't have double eyelid. While Westerners don't even know if you have them or not(all of you have them)

お人形さんみたいっていう褒め言葉もあります!日本ではリカちゃんとかバービー人形、フランス人形などの人形をすごく可愛いものとして認識してる人が多いです。肌が白いとか、顔が小さいとかの具体的な褒め方をするのは人形に似てるパーツをそのまま褒めてるのかな?って思います。人形みたいで可愛いねって言いたいんです。

Sorry that Japanese people talk about appearances so much😢 Lately, even among Japanese people themselves, it's considered something that shouldn't really be done.

Since the Japanese people have lived as a homogeneous group on the same islands for thousands of years, they often point out physical differences as a way of offering a compliment—it usually stems from a sense of admiration. For instance, a Japanese person with a high-bridged nose might be told, "You have a nose like a foreigner's"—and naturally, that is meant as praise. But of course, it might seem strange to foreigners. Just try to understand that there's absolutely no malice intended.
