I believe my T knew I needed to hear positive feedback but he didn't feel I deserved it. This hurt me so much I can't even begin to tell you how deeply I was affected. I have given compliments to people freely throughout my entire life. I have complimented strangers in the store or while waiting on line. I don't do it all the time but when I see that someone has gone out of their way to try and make themselves presentable (regardless if they are model material) I will say something nice. Be it their hair, shirt, cologne, tie what have you. In the years I saw my T I think he said maybe 2 nice things to me. Amelia, you asked if I could believe a compliment...that is hard to answer. But even if I couldn't believe it, it wouldn't hurt to tell me something nice would it? I'm not referring to you Amelia in that sentence, I think you know that. I appreciate your addressing my post with kindness and compliments even though you don't know me. It's sad that my T knows me very well but can't find the words to tell me what I need to hear or maybe (as I believe) just doesn't find anything good to say about me.

Amelia, you tell me I am smart and witty and I appreciate that. Thank you very much! I have to leave PC for now. Having a hard time fighting to write this with a sensitive laptop. I suppose I don't hear good things very often and I don't know that hearing them once will do me much good. But I do appreciate it.
