When someone compliments me I hate it so much I cry, and I don't know why?
Question Posted Saturday September 10 2011, 10:32 pm
i know this sounds REALLY weird, in a way that even I dont quite understand about myself. and it makes no sense. when people insult me, somehow, i feel better. and when i like, have cramps (btw they HHHHUUURRRRRTTTTTT and ive had 2 stay home from school it was that bad) but i always refuse to take medication (asprin) for it. for some odd reason, it makes me feel better about myself. beacause i have the courage and perserveirence to go thru the pain instead of taking the easy way out and giving in. it makes me feel confident. and i dont understand it. and when people complement me i absoultally HAATTTEEE it EEESSPPPEEAAACCCCIIIAALLLLYYYY when its about my apperance. i seriousally have cried for hours because my freind called me "beautiful" and i just dont understand it.

Sounds to me like you love a challenge, and that's an okay attitude to have. You just have to set limits so you don't impose real harm on yourself. For instance, if you're in some fierce pain, like bad toothache pain, it's okay to use some Oragel. Challenges can be fun, but they can be dangerous if we take them too far. Don't feel as if you have to prove anything to anybody! You are strong, courageous, and smart; smart enough to know where to draw lines. Also, compliments are in no way to be taken negatively. When people acknowledge the fact that you are gorgeous, talented, or simply amazing, accept it with a smile. Know your self-worth, and know that they're telling the truth. Let the truth motivate you to be the best you that you can be. Never let something great be something dreadful. If you continue to feel these bad feelings when complimented, consider talking to a counselor to see if he or she can help you better understand your feelings.
