In the cases where you sincerely want the answer to this question, you are kind of screwed. In those cases, don't ask your boyfriend. It's better to go to a girlfriend for this stuff. How can he tell when it's a real question and when it's a cry for reassurance? Sometimes you might not even know.
This plays out with other compliments as well. The compliments that we receive from a friend or boyfriend that we don't believe make us mistrust the person. We like the compliments that resonate with our sense of self. Perhaps the super-confident among us are able to accept compliments that take us beyond or normal view of ourselves. Maybe others can see things about ourselves that we can't see.
Wouldn't it be good if we could accept all of these compliments? Sure, sometimes it's malarkey, but why not believe that you deserve to be liked for all kinds of reasons--reasons beyond what you know about yourself? Why feel worse when you can feel better? Why not believe the best? You deserve it.
Grateful for: getting better at giving compliments.
P.S. The computer came home today (yes!). That means coffee shop blogging is on for this weekend. I was almost reconciled to the idea of not writing for the entire weekend, but I figured I might break out the pens and notebooks.
I haven't decided yet, but I may go to every-other-day posting. I need to be busy, but I've been overwhelmed. I'm not stopping--not even close--I'll let you know when I figure it out.
