How can you allow someone else their experience of you if you deny them?
When you get a compliment, positive feedback, positive characteristics, etc., this is that person’s experience of you. Don’t invalidate them or deprive them of their experience.
You may hate yourself, in which case, we need to work on that… however, don’t allow your hatred of yourself to cause you to ignore the reality.
The reality of it all is this…. You are special. You are worthy. You deserve love and empathy. Give yourself some grace and love yourself like you’ve never loved yourself before. (Which means to the opposite of self-deprecation and self-hatred.)
