I REALLY struggle with this area as well.

It doesn't matter who says whatever to me, I will not stop pushing away any sort of positive remark or look made towards me. No matter who is involved. I absolutely hate this side of myself, it's just SO dang negative!! But, I have seriously done this ever since I was a little girl (40+ years). How in the world can I change this deeply ingrained habit now?!

Makes me feel hopeless.
