Carol White :
❤️❤️❤️I’ve felt that way for two decades. I’ve slowly, almost fully come out of it in the last 3 years. How I did it was this: every time I was given a compliment, praise, a gift or simply love from someone genuine, I instantly felt guilty, like I didn’t deserve it, so I started ‘proving myself wrong’, in the sense that I challenged that inner voice/thought/feeling with instances that proved I DID deserve it. For example, someone said I was beautiful, I thought ‘Yeah right! You’re just saying that to make me feel better. I have crooked teeth and a belly that hangs over my pants, etc’ I would catch myself thinking that and after they left, I would search for ways I was wrong. For example, I have beautiful eyes, a warm smile and I’m kind, which radiates from other people so it must radiate from me. Keep doing that silently with yourself and over time, you’ll prove to yourself that your inner critic is wrong and you’ll start to love yourself. As that increases, your ability to receive will naturally increase. Much love to you!! ❤️
