Yup - Me Too

LOL - Pauline, when people say "Gee you look nice today" I immediately think that maybe I did not look so nice yesterday or the day before. Or "I love your new haircut"...means my old style was awful. I see any compliment as an indication that this is unusual for me to look nice, or have good hair. Wow - bummer.

I wear glasses and pay quite a bit to try to remain somewhat stylish since this is an accessory I must wear every day. And when people say "I'll bet you would look great in contacts" or "have you thought about eye laser treatment?" I feel I must be ugly in my glasses.

Even compliments like "You always look so nice" or "You are in great shape" or "I love your red hair"...make me feel like they must be mistaking me for someone else.

Pony...you have started something here. I have learned to love my inner self, but I really better do some work on feeling good about my outer self too.
