I hate when people talk good about me. I'm not saying I hate compliments, I'm just saying that I hate when people go overboard.
I'm a fairly okay person I suppose (hard suppose in my eyes), but I'm not picture perfect. People call me nice because off the cuff I treat people with respect, or I try to at least. I don't think that that's something to be commended for in terms of me. I'm not "nice", or "sweet", I'm just not going to go out of my way to disrespect you.
I'm commended on my work ethic too, but I just don't see why that is. A lot of people say I have a good work ethic, but I just don't want to feel like things are given to me, or feel like a freeloader. I don't see myself as a "good worker". I'm just a guy who wants to earn what he wants.
No matter who is in your life no one will ever know the real you. Not truly I don't think. Like me, okay sure say all these things about me, but: I've lied to people, I've been rude to people, I've hurt people's feelings. Sure, I'm sorry to the people I've hurt, but that doesn't excuse my past. I don't see myself as a good person. I see myself as someone who's made mistakes (still making mistakes, we all are), and is desperately trying to make things right.
I don't deserve the compliments I get. I'm not a "good person". I'm human

Everyone is a mixture. Some people just manage their image more than others, that’s all
ReplyAre you white with black stripes? Or black with white stripes? Are you bad with good habits? Or good with bad habits? Either or. We’re all gray.
ReplyThat's an interesting take — not liking compliments because you're human, I mean. I feel that sometimes we need reassurance when we're doing right and direction when we're doing wrong. Compliments and correction are some ways people do this. Would you prefer that your actions aren't acknowledged at all?
ReplyTo be honest, no. I've been "nice" I suppose before, but then when I wanted reciprocation, I've been called entitled. I've never really seen myself that way, but maybe I was acting that way at the time. I just don't want to feel like I deserve something when in reality I don't deserve anything. I hope this made sense, but to answer your question; I'd rather not have my actions noticed
ReplyI think I see, and that's okay. As long as you aren't harming anyone, you can accept what you think is right. But I really think if you've made efforts to do better, you deserve to be recognized at least every once in a while.
