- We are all apt to believe what the world believes about us.
How messed up is that? We take the negative views of others and accept them as confirmation of our own fears and feelings of inadequacy or failure, but we figure that the positive views of others are deluded or that they're just being nice or something.
We're too quick to accept a criticism and ignore a compliment.
New goal for myself-I'm going to try and reverse that. From now on, I will accept compliments and ignore anything but constructive criticism.

Is this post about me? lol
Yeah, it's true. :(
You sure hit the nail on the head with this one... sigh. Why is it so difficult to accept praise, anyways? *goes off to ponder*
Prin-LOL! I did kind of think of you, yes, but it's about me, too. I'm always brushing off nice stuff people say, but I take the negatives to heart without considering the source.
TD-I don't know. I really don't. Especially when it's so easy to accept put-downs.
