Accepting a compliment has always been hard for me. Its not that I don't belive the actual comment as much as I don't belive I deserve it. kinda wierd huh? I wouldnt peg myself as one with low self esteem, but I honestly don't know why I deem myself unworthy of compliments...
If someone compliments my hair, I point out the massive amounts of grey , and make a mental note to dye again. If someone compliments my jeans, I'll remind them of how much MORE weight I have to loose, to fit into a smaller pair of jeans I have at home... I ALMOST NEVER SAY THANK YOU!
So, today when in the market and several men complimeneted my on my looks.. I said thankyou! I smiled, I said thank you, and I actually stood there just a little longer than usual so that they could marvel in my beauty just a while longer... it felt good.
