Just accept the compliment! Or are you afraid someone will think you're conceited if you do?
Have you ever realized that so many of us have a difficult time accepting compliments? Someone offers a compliment about how we look, the effort and work we put into something, how smart we are, etc and we usually downplay it. We downplay it by offering a compliment in return, making an excuse of why it’s not so well deserved or maybe even because we simply don’t want us or our efforts to be noticed.
Let’s take a dive into why it’s hard to easily accept a compliment. Does it stem from trauma in the past, such as a compliment being used against you or a backhanded compliment that never feels good? Is it because you think you are worthy or deserving? Perhaps you simply don’t want others to view you as conceited for accepting something. After all, we are taught to be humble, not acknowledge our own successes.
Don’t forget how you make the giver of the compliment feel when you downplay or dismiss it. It’s a gift. It’s our job to receive and accept. Besides, if you’re working on manifesting the life of your dreams, you HAVE to show the Universe that you are willing to receive good things that come your way! RECEIVE!
Share below your experiences and if you also find it difficult to accept compliments.
