I Don't Know How to Take Compliments
I really do have a problem with this. I expect the worst so much that when I do get a compliment, I don't know how to react.
We had an intern in our office for the summer and on her last day she left handwritten thank you notes for everyone. It was a sweet gesture overall and her note to me was very nice. She thanked me for my help and said she had great respect for my expertise and willingness to share it. It was a surprise. I could think of a hundred reasons why I didn't deserve it. I had to set it aside and read again a week later to let her words speak for themselves.
