How do I truely accept a compliment? I always say "Thank you", but it's out of politeness, not bc I appreciate or accept the compliment. I believe the people giving me compliments are lying to me. Not necessarily with malicious intent, but I'm a fairly realistic person. So if I get a compliment like "You look good" I know that's not true and the person just wants me to feel good about myself, so I don't buy it. It's a big hinderance in building romantic relationships, bc I also couldn't believe someone who expresses interest in me. I always rejected any advances others made towards me bc of this.

How do I start to truely believe people?
