Whenever I receive compliments by people, for example friends who thank and compliment my cooking for them ‘the meal was very nice!’ Or my girlfriend telling me I look hot. I recently started to notice how I always immediately assume they are just saying it to be nice or because it’s ‘what they’re supposed to say’. I never believe the compliment to be true to it’s core.
I also recently discovered I feel extremely insecure due to some changes in my environment and this compliment thing was also a recent realization. I never thought I had imposter syndrome but reading some of the comments made me think about it. What do you think, does this have attributes of it or should I be barking up a different tree?
(Yes I have also started therapy :))
