I wasn’t sure where to post this thread. In Relationship Communications forum, my forum for Social anxiety or here in Coping with emotions.
I let mods to rectify if I wasn’t right.

I’m wondering about how others live this situation. I’m trying to understand why.
The obvious is to have a low self-esteem but is it part of personality, is there a way to overcome it or change it?

I don’t have any problem to see, recognise and even admire the good in people. Maybe because I compare them with myself and see everyone as better. I can’t recognise these points in myself. Indeed, you can tell me a hundred of times something good about me and I would never believe it.
Now, I accept to hear a compliment for education, I give thanks , but of course, I don’t believe it. I try it but I can’t.
My head tells me that mathematically, I’m wrong. There must be something good inside me since everyone have it.

That takes me to trust issues and I’m not sure if it’s a defence mechanism that I like to be on the mud, to avoid commitment or what?

My question why you think it could happen based on your personal experience.
Any other insight or discussion about the topic are welcome, too.
