What's wrong with me?
Question:
This is really stupid, but sometimes I dread doing a good job because I feel awkward when people start congratulating and complimenting me.
I barely had a 2.0 GPA in High School and I felt very badly about myself. So I don't understand why when I got to college and was making the Dean's List (3.75+) every semester, I kept it a secret from parents & friends.
I also was hired on the spot for a fabulous job two weeks ago and I feel anxious when I think about telling anyone close to me.
Answers:
You just dont believe theyre telling the truth, and feel shy when trying to express your feelings. If you dont think that your accomplishments are worthy enough for others to take notice, that is perfectly normal. Many times I dont tell others my accomplishments simply because I dont think they would care or respect it. If you feel like you want to express yourself more though, try talking to a close friend and see what they say about it. It all comes down to self confidence in the end. You have to be the one that makes the difference. Best of luck on your problem!
you seem to self-conscious. Nobody's thinking bad things about when they're complementing somebody...so why should you think they are? just relax and take the compliments in
A lot of people have trouble taking compliments but yours goes a bit farther. You just have horrible self-esteem. I would talk to a counselor of some sort of ways to get your self-esteem up.
It's not bad to be proud of yourself.
I THINK U NEED TO STOP HAVING LOW SELF ASTEEM
First of all, there is nothing "wrong" with you. You are most likely a very humble person, lacking a bit of confidence. I'd try getting out and doing some volunteer work with those less fortunate than yourself. This can really awaken a sense of self-confidence and gratitude for one's good fortune. Maybe you'll realize how much you really have to offer this tired old world.

I hope this website I found helps you a little. Maybe see a counselor too.
You should be proud of yourself and tell the world..Congratulations!
You like to be the victim...and you need constant validation (even though you say you feel akward when someone compliments you). All these tell me that you're very insecure, something that you need to work on, either by talking to someone or working through it.
Nothing wrong with you, maybe you were put down in your early years. Learn to take the compliments. Just say thank you when you get one and be thankful you are appreciated.
Your self esteem went down hill somewhere. I used to be like that, but now I can say thank you without feeling weird or like I need to reply in a negative way. I started to see a therapist a couple years ago, and she has helped me over come that. We're still working on my anxiety, but I'm a lot better then I used to be. A therapist can help you with this greatly, they don't judge, and they get to the root of the problem. Mine all started at early childhood. It just progresses if you don't take care of it. It also can jeopardize your work ect. Hope I helped a little. Good luck!
All you have to do is see as your accomplishments as a good thing in life and that your not always messing up. You should talk to someone about that cause i used to be the same. Good luck.
your probity beutifule and smart people go for that your luck go with it it's not you is god
