Jenn is always saying how she is constantly putting herself down, how she loves compliments and thrives off them, but can’t help but respond to them by putting herself down.
I didn’t realize I do the exact same thing until the other night, when I did it, to her.
She was introducing me to someone and said something about me being sweet and I immediately “defended” myself by saying, “No I’m not! I don’t know why she would even say that!”

I just found it ironic.
Why are we so afraid of letting people think positive things about us?
