Why are compliments so hard to take? My knee jerk reaction is to either make excuses or argue.
Simple, because the compliments aren’t for something you personally value. Imagine if you worked hard on something and want people to notice but instead they compliment something else.
For example my handwriting looks very good, not because I want it to be, but because when I was a child and asked mydasd to help me with my homework he made me rewrite it again and again until the handwriting was immaculate instead of actually helping me with the subject. People saying “Wow your handwriting looks so neat.” Makes me just want to say “Thanks, for complementing my trauma, but have you actually read what I wrote?”“You have very beautiful trauma”
You’re fucking rotten and they’re all lying to you so they can laugh about it behind your back
Thanks. I figured as much.
It’s when people don’t get taught that shit is within all of us, the good people just give it the reign less often. Just because you have shitty thoughts doesn’t mean you’re shit, what you actually end up doing is what matters.
Well, but i am shit or bad. I’m just pretending to be nice for selfish gains or to avoid feeling bad.
I’m not nice and helpful out of altruistic reasons, I’m nice and helpful out of selfish reasons.Now think of something embarrassing you did when you were a kid. Every day. Forever.
