If people seem to like me and I can't accept why? What is going on?
Question:
Answers:
Low self esteem. I have the same problem. The trouble is, you haven't figured out that you know your flaws, and tend to exaggerate them--and they don't.
Some of the best people in the world, the most selfless, the most heroic, the most giving are compensating for the awful people they perceive themselves to be.
it sounds like you are insecure about yourself for some reason. have you considered seeing a therapist to help with self-esteem?
Maybe your gut tells you something otherwise..maybe they're being fake or have other intentions..
Perhaps you have an irrational fear of teeth. I know I have.
Sorry did I say teeth? I meant elephants.
Self esteem issues. Can you look in a mirror and honestly say "I'm Okay"?
If you grew up in a household where you got little attention and nurturing from you parents, this may have given you the subconscious message that you are somehow less valuable that other, somehow inferior. As a result, you may find that others like you more that you like yourself, and as such will presume that they playing some sort of game with you.
The way to change this is to look at your reflection in the mirror, imagine that your reflection is someone else that looks like you, and say to your reflection "Your Okay". It sounds corny, but after a week or so, this little excercise will help you to see past your self doubt, and help you to accept the praise of others.
The compliments people give us only ring true if they validate what we already think of ourselves, I believe.
In other words. If you don't feel worthy deep down in your soul then reassurances of your worthiness from others will always sound hollow and flat.
It's become a cliché I know, but learning to look for the good in you takes time and a lot of self-discovery.
It's because u know urself more than other people
know u, 'cause u r just u. U know all the bad and good
stuff about u. So when people like u, u think they dont
know ur bad side and that's why they like u. But dont
forget, that everyone has a yin/yang nature, no
one is 100% good, and no one is 100% bad, so
u r a nice person.
