I hear you about praise police. For me it is called The Inner Critic. Nothing I do is ever good enough for them. This can even spread to the people I choose for relationships as they can also externalize the Inner Critic, and blame me for everything. I guess in some ways I internalize criticism from the outside and act as if being criticized from the outside. Anyone complimenting me is surely going to get me in trouble with The Inner Critic.
Padraig O'Morain has videos on Self Compassion and Mindful Acceptance on youtube. To me, he is like the kind loving
grandpa I never had.
