I don't like feeling like I owe anyone anything, even though there truly are people in the world that just like giving because it makes them feel good. I am always most comfortable, in personal life, and in work, when I feel like I've given more to people than they've given to me. </p> <p>Compliments...forget about it. Have never gracefully accepted one in my life. People around me think it's annoying. ;) That's definitely one I need to work on. </p> <p>There are a total of two people in this world that I truly am at ease with accepting help/calling for help from---both best friends from college---because we've all done so much for each other that it's clear that it's impossible to keep score on. We've gone to the ends of the earth and back for each other, so it's easy to give and receive with no guilt! It seems like it takes virtually decades for me to get to a place like that with people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-accepting-things-from-others#post-1010137 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 11:10:44 +0000 regberadaisy 1010137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am decent but DH is horrible! I'm making him work on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-accepting-things-from-others#post-1010133 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 11:09:22 +0000 808love 1010133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gifts, favors and help are easy for me but compliments, in person, are very hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-accepting-things-from-others#post-1009360 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:21:55 +0000 Rubies 1009360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really bad at accepting favours and help (and equally bad at asking). Compliments are hard, too, especially when I don't FEEL it. I'm gracious and good at accepting gifts when it's an appropriate gift-giving time (birthdays, Christmas, etc.) but not when it's out of the blue - I feel awkward! But this is because I don't like surprises...When I'm caught off guard, I act stupid and weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-accepting-things-from-others#post-1009357 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:20:25 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1009357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to be. I think people see it as rude if you adamantly refuse when they are trying to do something nice for you. </p> <p>When someone does something nice for me I like to find a way to do something nice back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-accepting-things-from-others#post-1009348 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 07:18:02 +0000 mrbee 1009348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you good at accepting things like compliments, gifts, favors and help?</p> <p>I used to be beyond terrible at this but have gotten better!!</p> <p>You? </p>
