why does confidence disappear when someone compliments u πŸ’€

Deadass tho, why does this happen? I'll be vibin', feeling kinda good about myself, then someone throws a compliment my way and suddenly I'm like 'wait, are they being sarcastic?' or 'do I actually look like crap and they're just being nice?' My whole internal monologue goes haywire and my confidence just poofs. It's so annoying! 😭 #ComplimentAnxiety #GenZProblems #Overthinker

OMG THIS IS SO VALID. literally me every single time. my brain immediately goes into 'analysis paralysis' tryna figure out if they're serious or just being polite 😭 it's a curse!

Fr, I think it's linked to imposter syndrome or just generally having really high self-critical standards. When someone says something nice, it almost highlights the gap between how we see ourselves and how others *might* see us, and then the doubt kicks in. Wild.
