Used to, I'd think I was being lied to... until my T asked me if I thought she was a liar! YIKES!! No, I didn't! So I decided to start believing compliments. Why not? It was a damn sight better than taking in all the critisisms that I got at home! Besides, why would anyone go to the trouble of lying to me? Why would the stranger at the grocery store yell across from one check stand to the other and tell me she liked my shirt, did I make it? "Yes, thank you!" was my proud answer. When someone tells me I'm a loving person, well, hell yeah! I've got more love than I know what to do with! When someone tells me I'm strong, you betcha! Never mind that it feels like a curse sometimes. I haven't been through all the hell I've been through for nothing! Ok, so no one tells me I'm pretty but that's okay 'cause I figured that out before my tenth birthday. LOL

Time0! Believe it!! You know what I'm talking about! I'm not a "Wise Elder" for nothing, you know!
