Still swaying between the occasionally possibly believing a compliment or the words behind them for a few seconds… or just absolutely not believeing one single syllable…. D is great and compliments me a lot… I have made progress in that I will say (most of the time) “Thank you” rather than argue with him.
So it’s progress.
I am working on this – I have had lots of gorgeous sounding compliments said to me in the recent weeks and months… and whether it’s the person/ people saying them, the fact that I trust them, or the fact that I believe them, I do not know.. .But I am slowly starting to occasionally believe the words which are said to me… once in a blue moon though!
I am sad to say that due to how I have been treated – or allowed myself to be treated – I no longer believe a compliment. In fact I will be all very cynical and disbelieving about whatever is said to me and I think that the person is saying what they are to just get something from me… that thry feel they need to flatter me to get X from me.
I also can’t see the quality in me which the person is commenting on.
Which is a shame, I suppose.
