Why do I do this?

I frequently visit the Kudos forum to show my support for all my fellow PC'ers. But, if someone starts a thread to show their support for me, I not only exit the thread, I exit PC. Then, after a bit of time, I slowly re-enter the thread, and thank those for their support.

This bothers me because??

I'm a strange bird!

Dee

Dear, Dee... I do the same thing.

Two strange birds then!

Dee and Nina,

Did you feel loved by your mother?

EJ

you are a crack up Nina...wuv ya!!!

EJ,

loved and mother did not mesh in my childhood..guess thats a NO


Dee

(((hugs))) I'm glad you go back and accept the kudos. You deserve them, as does everyone.

I think when we are taught that we are unworthy, we believe it. It takes many more kudos to counter a negative impression you received about yourself...so keep going to kudos!

three strange birds

I don't even go in to kudos. Can it be three strange birds and one strange bear?

BB

Nope, me neither...

I rarely go to kudo's myself. I for one have a very hard time accepting compliments. no I did not feel loved by my mother. in fact she put me down all my life. maybe that is why I have a hard time with it. so maybe 4 strange birds hehe

maybe it is because we feel undeserving or unworthy. maybe we just feel uneasy with others expressing their love and affection. maybe we fear the intimacy of the things that are said or fear that we will eventually be hurt by those we think are friends. who knows really. but for those that do find it hard, i think you should ask yourself why it is so hard to hear good things about yourselves. i think we all seek love and support here. so why is it that we are afraid of it at the same time?
