Why Learning to Accept Compliments Matters

Accepting compliments isn’t just about boosting our ego—it’s about fostering connection. Compliments are small acts of kindness that say, “I see you. I value you.” By brushing them off, we unintentionally dismiss the giver’s thoughtfulness and vulnerability.

Moreover, learning to accept praise can help us rewrite those internal scripts of self-doubt. When we practice embracing positive feedback, we affirm not only our worth but also the relationships that give life its richness.
