. Anxiety can make it difficult to accept good new

.
Anxiety can make it difficult to accept good news and compliments.

Here are some other reasons:

📍Fear of Vulnerability

Accepting compliments and good news requires vulnerability, as it involves acknowledging one’s strengths or achievements. For those with anxiety, this openness can feel risky, as they may fear judgment, rejection, or failure if they show confidence.

📍Physical Symptoms of Anxiety

Anxiety triggers a fight-or-flight response, leading to physiological responses like increased tension and alertness. Compliments or good news may feel almost jarring in this heightened state, making it difficult to internalize.

Do you struggle with accepting compliments?

. We create boundaries and walls to protect oursel

.
We create boundaries and walls to protect ourselves from things that we don’t like. The difference is walls tend to be built when we’re trying to deeply control something and boundaries are created as a form of self-care to communicate realistic expectations.

Building a wall might sound like:
📍 I don’t trust anyone.
📍 I don’t need anyone to help me. I can do it all myself.

Creating boundaries might sound like:
📍 I can only stay for an hour
📍 I really can’t talk about that right now. It isn’t the right time.

Knowing this list, do you think you have created boundaries, or have you built a wall?
