i seriously have no idea what is up w this bc i love when people compliment me!! like it makes me wanna jump around and be so joyous but whenever i get compliments i just like?? deflect it like an IDIOT
example my aunt said i looked gorgeous in my going out fit and my dumbass instead of just saying thank you like a NORMAL PERSON has to be like "well idk if gorgeous is the word for it" and not in like an i hate how i look way or smth just like?? IDEK either that or i say like "i know :3" oh my god be quirt and TAKE A COMPLIMENNTT
that and i struggle w giving compliments mainly to ppl i know idk why either cus its just really tough for me to show my appreciation for ppl who i like and i think it honestly kind of ruins some friendships i have and whatnot ;(
i srsly hate it so much it makes me feel like im so annoying hshshhshshs i just cant be a normal person and idk if im neurodivergent or something or maybe just weird bblehhhhsong: my & my old lady - the offspring

I literally had this exact same problem all through middle school and a bit of highschool. I think like, when someone says something nice, your brain doesn’t just hear “you look nice”, it hears “I’m looking at you, I noticed you, I’m forming an opinion about you.” I think I learned to be self-deprecating as a way to be likable, or to avoid being “too much.” Nowadays I taught myself to just pause when someone gives me a compliment, stomp down the urge to say something awkward, and just say "Thank you", "That's really kind of you." idk.
