When I get compliments I sometimes panic because I wonder how I can live up to it. If my boss tells me what a good job I'm doing, for a split second I feel really great, but then I feel like I have to live up to that image at all times and even surpass it. It then becomes an overwhelming pressure. Simultaneously, I often question the truth of the compliment--am I misrepresenting myself? Am I a fraud? and then it turns into the "I am bad" self talk. Yep, compliments and me don't get along too well.
