Thanks for taking the time to read and relate to my post, @jerrytsuseer.
You sound so much like me. All my life I have had great difficulty accepting compliments or praise, even though I knew inside I was as good as they said.
Were you able to manage to change that part of yourself? If so, how?
Thank you for your wisdom!
No, I haven't "changed myself" in that respect. It is still hard for me, I will duck my head, or avert my eyes etc when someone tells me how great I am, but I've gotten better for sure.
It helps that since Covid shut down all the places that I played music for so long, I wasn't getting that many compliments, and then when the restrictions were lifted, I have other things taking up my time and energy, so that practice is difficult. Now I don't PLAY music that way, sadly, and I desperately want to get back to it, but just can't get motivated for it.
However @nmore , I do believe that my god has done things, created and sacrificed things that tell me that I AM worthy of His love, so everything else is secondary 💚
