When I looked up the word "sexy" in the dictionary, it implied it to mean "someone that is sexually attractive" or " someone that you can easily go down with ". I feel I am being sexualized by that statement of looking sexy.

Do you feel it is a complement?

I think the meaning of the statement has evolved to mean that the person is looking pretty. The interpretation depends on a person's mindset though.

Whenever I see myself in the mirror, I always say that I am sexy. I do not mind if people say this adjective to me.

If people say that I am sexy, I take it as a complement. I do not see anything negative in this word unless the person who is saying this has other thoughts in mind.

No one has passed me that remark but I don't I would be serious on such passing remarks

There is no big deal in being sexy. People ought to take things less serious because sexy is quite innocent.
