Ok, it's been said. Let's not ever bring it up again

I don't handle compliments well. I feel weird when people try to compliment me - whether it's something I've done or am wearing or whatever. I just feel like I'm obligated to return the favor. I fall into a state of panic and unintentionally give out "constipated look" number 72.
Truth is, I'm not used to compliments. I love compliments the same way I love going to the dentist and my OB-GYN. I hate compliments coming from a total stranger or at the least an acquaintance. I feel like I still have to test their sincerity. Plus, they have a tendency to sayt he same "compliment" over and over again every time you cross paths. It's like they're reading a script.
Compliments from real friends however, are a different catalog of segregation. I'd take that wholeheartedly. You know why? Because they say it once and then they never bring it up ever again thereby diminishing the ratio of doubt versus sincerity.

For this week, my goal is not to drop like a freaking rag doll in front of my class ever again, not to piss anyone within a 3 mile radius and not to be bitter and depressed.
Here's hoping I at least get one done.
