i've been receiving a lot of praise of recent. well, not *that* much, but more than normal. it's mostly for academics–I recently graduated with honors in the course I was taking.
in the past for me, the words "I'm proud of you" were met with a bashful smile, maybe some teary eyes, and a "thank you." of recent, it's the same, except now my head feels like it's enveloped in static, and I can't maintain eye contact.
I think in my attempt to not become narcissist, I ended up getting rid of a big chunk of my self-esteem.
