2. If someone compliments you, they most likely mean it. Thank them and stop deflecting.
Oftentimes, when people compliment us, we’re quick to negate their thought. “Oh, no, this shirt? It’s old. I’ve been meaning to throw it away,” or, “You’re crazy! My hair is a disaster!” People wouldn’t compliment you if they meant the opposite; so, smile, thank them, and start believing in what they’re telling you.
1. Most importantly, you need to take care of yourself first.
As I’ve said before, make yourself your main priority. It isn’t selfish; in the end we are all striving to be the happiest and best people that we can be. You’ve only got one life so live it the way you want to and don’t let anyone hold you back from being great. Self-love and acceptance is key.
