learn to accept a compliment.

As a kid, I went to a very small private Catholic school. Instead of being nicer, the kids were much meaner than they would be at a public school. So, oftentimes they would “compliment” me, only for me to find out later that they were actually making fun of me. This makes it hard for me to accept compliments, even though now that I’m in a new school and I’ve grown into myself, I get real compliments. It’s just hard to shake the suspicion that the person is lying.
