I can’t understand

I grew up in a family that was quick to criticise and always put you down. I was the same to towards other members of my family too. We were just a negative bunch. Never had a good word to say about one another. Later in life, I actually distrusted people and hated them for making compliments to me. I wasn’t used to it. People I trusted were the ones who were critical of me and made me feel bad. I trusted my family and that’s how they treated me. I believed people who were complimentary to me where being fake. I couldn’t see the truth in the compliments of because no one ever complimented me before.

You should try to accept compliments and try to believe what people see in you. They wouldn’t be saying it otherwise. Especially if there is many of them saying. Believe in the good of what they’re saying and hopefully you will start feeling good too about yourself.

Take the good, leave the bad.
