Self Deprecation
Why is it so easy for me
to see the ''good'' in everyone else
ANYONE else.......
but me?
It was brought to my attention
that I quite frequently
self deprecate.
My first response to this was
''Oh my gosh! I am so...stupid! ''
But, then I thought
about my kids.
What am I teaching them
when I put myself down
as I so often do?
Why can't I just accept a compliment?
Instead of saying ''Thank you''
I always try to convince the person
why they should reconsider.
I hear myself.
I tell myself to ''Just shut up! ''
But, I still manage to sound like a fool
listing my many flaws
(just in case they hadn't noticed them) .
I have to stop this.
I need to find a way
to accept praise
and love myself.
