Am I wrong?

I have known my boyfriend for 4 years and he tends to be a sweet talker at times. He is the type to tell people what they like to hear rather than what he genuinely thinks.

When he tells me something awfully sweet, I’ve grown to not take it so seriously. I know I should just accept it and say ‘thank you’ but the fact that he has a thing for telling people more so what they’d like to hear versus what he truly thinks makes me kinda not believe him 100%. It ruined my belief in certain “compliments” he gives me sometimes I guess? For example, if he tells me that I am the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, I feel as though he’s just telling me that because it’s what I want to hear — when in reality, I know there are many celebrities who are gorgeous!

Also, I know I have gained almost 20 lbs since we have first met. He tells me that I do not look like I have gained much at all....but...the scale says it. So, I say thank you but in the back of my mind I can’t take it seriously.

HOW do I stop questioning his compliments when I know he sometimes tells me what I want to hear? I really feel as though this has ruined me from taking his compliments seriously. I don’t want to live in fantasy...I want someone to genuinely compliment me because they mean it, not because they want to tell me what I want to hear.
