I get so much criticism from my parents, my teachers, even my friends that it’s hard to accept or believe a compliment. And it takes work to give one too. Anyway, criticism is just easier to give back and makes me feel strong or powerful, for a minute at least. But later I end up feeling worse - like I’m alone or far away from people. So lately, I’ve been experimenting by - just out of the blue - encouraging people. It’s been fun seeing how my friends react when I compliment them. And in the end, I feel closer to them - and that feels right.
