I find that whenever people are kind to me or compliment me a lot, I end up getting more anxiety and it triggers me into getting more attacks... I don't know if this is just my internalized lack of self-worth talking, but does anyone else have this problem?

Whenever people are really nice to me I just feel like they're faking it and I get really paranoid and depressed over my worry about how 'much' i actually matter and mean to others
So, anyone else have anything similar?

I really hate compliments as well, and when people try to tell me great things about myself, I see it as just lies. I have gotten myself to believe that everyone has their opinions and if someone thinks I'm pretty then I don't have to believe them.

I get triggered too. People telling me i'm doing great sometimes makes me want to do worse. I have no idea why...
Thanks for this!

Sometimes I wonder if people (IRL) mean the nice things they say

My own self loathing makes any compliment sound at best like sarcasm.

I'm always paranoid about what people think or say about me. I don't know why bc it shouldn't matter.

I have noticed, too late, that I have left each job once I have had a significant success/promotion. Or, even, a stretch of successes...

Mx: To clean up the mess use lamotrigine, r
isperidon, mirtazapine and sertraline. Let it soak in for a while but keep a close eye on it. Meanwhile enjoy your desert of oxazepam/temazepam prn.

Over time I've learned to just accept and case by case make a determination on sincerity. Too many compliments at once set off my desire to not trust.

I tend to have a kitchy sense of style, I know for a fact that people are insulting me most of the time when they are giving me "compliments".
