I tend to think people are lying or just being polite when they compliment me. It is hard for me to believe anyone has anything nice to say about me. I guess that is what happens when you are critisized daily for 10 years.

Former boss came by my desk today to congratulate me on exceeding an important target. Made me uneasy. I feel like the more I succeed the more people secretly want to see me fail. I'm sure it is all in my mind.

I'm not going to lie, I love compliments! Who doesn't? It makes me feel good about myself and it makes me happy! But honestly, I take them so badly!
Before, I used to reject compliments.

I like to blame my mother for me not taking compliments well. It's not that she didn't teach me proper manners it is that she has always told me the exact opposite of what an good mother should tell her daughter. I've had a difficult...

Today was weird.
I know I made my therapist upset.
First time ever.
I felt SO bad.
