Thanks for the reminder! As an emotional submarine, I have a hard time with compliments, but it’s good to look through the periscope every now and then.
I have a hard time with compliments
Me too. What is that about?

I think my reason is quite a bit uglier than that, stemming from my lack of respect for the person complimenting me.
Internally, I often think "How would you know if that was impressive or not?" Pretty shitty.

Interestingly, I thought about this phenomenon just a few days ago. I realized I have a hard time with compliments since they make me feel a fracture in reality and I am a very skeptical person (to not say I have trust issues).
With "fracture of reality", I mean that I see that the other person and me have a different view on things. So something feels "off".
But it's just a subtle feeling, I know it's just me being dramatic.
