[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try to avoid giving physical compliments. When I was a kid I was told I was beautiful often. So much so I did child modeling. Then I went through puberty and was not cute. The comments stopped. I noticed and it plummeted my self confidence. Now I’m a slightly above average looking adult who still struggles deeply with self confidence. I find myself depending on compliments from those around me for self worth. I’m actually in therapy for it. Perhaps an extreme example but I do avoid giving compliments like this. [/quote] If your confidence is tied to external validation that’s unhealthy. Therapy maybe? To tell my good looking almost adult child that he’s handsome is not impacting his self esteem. [/quote]
