I'm Getting Better...

I had that British thing through most of my life where someone compliments you on something and you reply back 'Oh, it's just crap' in a throw-away kind of way.

My wife used to call me a 'Negative Nancy' and, slowly and surely, I'm learning to just accept nice compliments.

It's generally a 'Thank you' and no more, feeling a little embarrassed, but at least it's a start.

@LisaD2023 It can be a little tough, but what people see and what I know (about me) don't always tally up...

@SammyJo What you do is not always what you are, and what you are is what is important.

@Uncfred Well, yes....true.
