So I was working on some self-esteem exercises recently and one of them asks about compliments I've received:

My Strengths and Qualities | Therapist Aid

Uh ... well ... Don, my supervisor, says I'm smart. After that it gets really muddy in a hurry. Also, in therapy this weekend it came about that I give my wife multiple compliments every day, but she doesn't reciprocate because for her, "I just grew up that we don't compliment each other."

Anyway, the therapist feels I miss out on plenty of compliments (just don't log them in my brain for some reason) so I'm starting a log. I'll record the compliments as they come in so I can get a true idea of what's really going on here. Wish me luck!
