someone: *compliments me*
my hideous brain goblin: no im nā
me, beating the goblin with a stick: no!!! its nice having my positive traits acknowledged!! responding to affirmation by denying it doesnāt make anybody feel good! the goodness in me isnāt always visible to myself, and i wonāt put myself down when people see it! i deserve compliments!
hideous brain goblin, spitting blood: theyāre lying to you to make you feel betā
me, loading my shotgun: IāllĀ Feel Better And Thatās What Matters, Shitlord. Making Those Assumptions And Festering On Them Will Only Hurt Me And The People Who Genuinely Do Mean Their Compliments. If I Assume The Worst In Praise, I Wonāt See The Best In Myself.
