I’ve never known how to take a compliment. Whenever anyone says anything nice about me, no matter how minor, I just stare blankly, lost for words. I have no clue what to say. This happens even if it’s written in an email or on a forum like this.
Just a feature of my personality or something that is common for autistic people?
I've never been able to accept compliments not even from my own family. I have no self esteem and am extremely insecure, likely from the child abuse and bullying I endured for years.
It's very much a case of when someone gives me a component my brain automatically dismisses it like I'd love to believe that but we aren't deserving of such praise... So on your bike.I don't think that at the time lol but I imagine if my brain is talking that's what she's saying when someone compliments me which isn't often.
