Oh no, I only wish. I short circuit and get depressed, feeling like people are lying to me and only being nice to me to get me to shut up and go away. It’s something I’ve been working on for a while now, even accepting simple compliments without minimizing them or acting like the person who is giving the compliment doesn’t know enough about me to make that judgment and therefore they’re wrong. I really hate it, honestly. Because my crooked mind thinks “oh you’re just being humble and realistic” when I’m actually actively tearing down positive thoughts about myself. This is a thing that is irrespective of my gender, it’s just a “me” problem in general.
First half is true, second half…
