I have more empathy than I think
I am good listner when ot comes to serious talk
You are a good friend and have a great heart
My mental strength is terrifyingly strong, and I use my stubbornness to help others well.
If I had to give myself a compliment as they do make me quite uncomfortable. It would be that I’m a good mom. I try so hard, just knowing my daughter is thriving helps reinforce that I’m doing a good job. Parenting can be so scary sometimes you know?
@RavenObscure
You're doing a wonderful job and we all here on 7 Cups are so proud of you! Keep going, beautiful soul. ❤
That we can still find out which is right and which is wrong in this society of 2021. Choose wisely and enjoy. Remember, Shadow never leaves. Compliment is just another term for free. Free things won't last long. All the best!
@CheeryMango
You're a true friend with a brilliant and unpredictable mind.

This is VERY SUPER HARD!!!!!!!!!! i HATE COMPLEMENTS, IT IS VERY, VERY UPSETTING TO GET THEM AND IT BOTHERS ME TREMENDOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do NOT want to give myself ANY COPLEMENT OR GET ANY COMPLETMENT FROM ANYONE ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You or anyone else, can choose to feel how you feel about this, agree or disagree, as that is all up to you and how you choose for yourself. You will not make me want this, like this, or accpet this in any way, shape, or form. If you have a problem with this, then go and deal with it. I am who I am and I do not want this one bit. I have every right to decide what I want for myself. I choose my own boundaries for myself. I choose to not allow this for myself. If you want to go and do this for others who want this, then, please respect me and what for want for myself, and go and concentrate on those that want this. Do as you want to do for who you are, but, give me my respect and honor that for what I want for myself!!!!!!!!!!!
@Amelia2324
Good on you for respecting your own boundaries, I often forget to do that, I just go along with what is expected/polite, then later wish I had been more self-aware and honest.
Sometimes I like compliments, sometimes I don't. In general I do like them, but I hate praise and believe we shouldn't use it so much.
I would love to hear more about the reasons you don't like it, and what people could do instead, as it is usually something we just do, without asking first!
@Amelia2324
I hear you completely Amelia. I'm so glad you can maintain these boundaries and share how you feel ❤️❤️
@Olivia210

@Amelia2324
