Trust

Today I began to ponder two things: first, why I find it painfully difficult to graciously accept a complement, and second, why I am so insecure about body image.

Why is it so hard to trust people and to trust myself?

Will I ever be able to say thank you in earnest when someone compliments me? Will I ever be happy about the way I look?

I wish I knew the first place to start towards making progress on either of these issues. I want to learn how to celebrate myself.
