Not always. Skinny can be used to condescendingly say "you need to eat more", or "you are a walking skeleton". If you are healthy with a good diet and regular exercise you can assume they mean it as a compliment

No. To many people it may seem like it, but some people may not want to be seen as skinny. They want to be "normal". Or they maybe just don't want to be labeled by society's standards. While many people want to lose weight, others want to gain weight. Skinny is not always a compliment.

That depends on two things:
- How do you feel about being called skinny
- The context skinny was used in.

No. Sometimes it means that people are really worried about you. You can deffinetly be too skinny.

If you personally like to be skinny than it is considered a compliment. But some don't like to be called skinny, so I think that case it may not be taken as a compliment.

It depends on both the person giving the complement and the person receiving it. Many times we desire the opposite of others vision of healthy weight.

No. There are many types of body that are appreciated. And many types of body shape that people would like to be.

No, skinny isn't always a compliment. For some people it can be but others who are trying to gain weight after recovering from an eating disorder or who simply dont like their body may find it to be an insult.

Skinny is not always considered a compliment like some might say it in a way like oh your so skinny and that your ugly which isn't obviously true but people say it you know

I would say no especially if it's use in a context where the person is worried. If you see skinny always as a compliment you might have an issue
