All articles where compliments is mentioned

August 2020 I wanted to die. There’s no cute way to say it nor are there any elaborate, beautiful, metaphorical bits of prose I can construct to illustrate the beginnings of the hardest part of my life to date. There were no silver linings, and barely any good days. I’d curse the sun out the moment I opened my eyes simply because I did.

Why It’s Hard for Me to Speak Kindly to Myself

A few years ago, when I was in a residential program for my mental health, we had to participate in an exercise where each of us had to compliment another client and all we could respond with was “thank you.” This forced us to sit with the discomfort of a compliment about something we deeply didn’t believe to be true about ourselves. For example, someone would say to me, “Becca, you’re courageous,” and all I was allowed to say back was, “thank you,” all while all the excuses as to why I believe I’m not took over my thoughts.

Can We Please Stop Complimenting People for This?

I just listened to an episode of the Yoga Is Dead Podcast called “Vegans Killed Yoga.” I didn’t expect to have such a strong reaction to it, but I definitely did. The part that resonated most strongly with me was the common practice of equating thinness with wellness. In yoga, we often see white, thin, strong women as the ideal “yoga body.” Obviously, there is no yoga body. But that isn’t always easy to remember. And I think everybody (and especially anybody with influence in the wellness industry) needs to actively work to dismantle this idea. In this episode, they did a great job of discussing how often being heavier is often healthy, while losing weight can be a sign of unhealthy habits or a symptom of disease.

Realizing My Self-Worth Is Tied to Why Compliments Make Me Uncomfortable

Over the past few weeks, due to a large number of different circumstances and situations in my life, I’ve been receiving a lot of compliments and affirmations from those close to me. I’ve always hated people complimenting me, and I know there are others who feel the same way. But for the longest time, I never really understood why. I always figured it was because I was being put on the spot. And while that is a factor, I’ve realized over the past couple of days that isn’t the real story.

How 'Toxic Compliments' Influenced My Eating Disorder as a Teen

I am a people-pleaser. At certain times in my life, I have lived for words of praise, a nod of approval and public appreciation. As a performing arts major in college, I literally measured self-worth in applause. To this day, it is a challenge that regularly comes up in self-reflection. Whose approval is more important: my own or my coworkers? How do I measure my values: by my personal convictions or by my best friends? I still get it so jumbled, and I am just now starting to figure out where this identity crisis began.

Is Low Self-Esteem the Reason You See Yourself Differently Than Others Do?

Sometimes, the way we see ourselves, and the way other people see our actions don’t always mesh. We view ourselves one way, and other people perceive us to be another. This skewed perception can go both ways, but if you find yourself always being surprised at other people’s positive reactions to you, you might be suffering from low self-esteem, and that is why their comments feel like such a light in the darkness. I never thought I suffered from a self-esteem problem until I started going to therapy and writing professionally.
