This. This is what my T also told me. She can say things like that I'm not ugly or that I'm not stupid or whatever, but I wouldn't believe it. If people say something positive about me, I would always doubt what they say, think they don't really mean it. Or I would not agree with it.
I agree with my T. But I would like a compliment from her every now and then. I care too much about what she thinks of me, which she almost never really tells me.
