How do you react to compliments?
Me? It all depends on the context. If it’s work related, I bask in them. And maybe do a little dance. And perhaps pat myself on the back. You see, I’m good at my job. I really am, and I know it. It plays to all my strengths!
But if it’s in any way regarding physical traits, I shy away, or deflect, change the subject, or tell the compliment-er everything that’s wrong with the statement.
What does that mean? That I’m not comfortable in my skin?
Hm. I consider myself to be a fairly competent and confident woman. This irks me, and I’m not sure I know how to fix it.
