So truth. It must be hard for everybody accept compliments due to the culture we were raised. Even for people with better self-esteem.

You are very right. In our DNA is printed the idea to be a social animal and being accepted by our social group for protection.
And then, on another hand, we are brought up to follow religious and ethic principals to support the former. Sacrifice for the other, be nice to and love the other, responsibility to give the group our best. Much of it, I think it has to be with acceptance by the group to find a protection from the group.

If I were a mother I would be very concern about my kid being accepted so I wanted him/her to be as better as possible in his/her skills. And as a person.
Of course I would respect his/her nature, his/her personality, his/her rights as a distinct person to me.
But, I’m a teacher so I have more preparation in this field.
Each time more, parents are more aware of the need to be balanced and accept the value of their kids, as separated individuals from their parents. But, I guess parents have done as best as they have been able to do it and likely, similar to how they were raised.

What changed along the History is values we considered as right in a social group.

I think it’s important to know this why to give it a more objective eye to the matter and you clarified many things for me. Thanks, a lot.

I understand that my head often makes good reasonings what happens is that most of the times, feelings and fears, win the battle. Many times they walk on first place. But, these feelings are not another thing that what we were printed when kids. Something randomly chosen for a point in and a society. Subjective. Cultural.
