It makes me feel like someone exposed my inner thoughts about myself, and I am embarrassed that someone knows I feel that way about myself.

Whatever the reason, it sure is hard to say "thank you" with a period at the end. As in not say anything else.
That is it....that word embarrassed...i think that's what it is..I'm embarrassed when someone compliments me, that's why it's uncomfortable...and that actually makes alot of sense to me..really most of my panic attacks are actually caused by my embarrassment...or perceived or predicted or imagined embarrassment. This is very useful i think i'll bring this up with my t and see what he can help me with, thanks so much
