This week’s discussion is: Compliments. We’ve previously shared things we liked about our appearance, this week I’d love to hear the things you like about yourself that aren’t appearance-related.
Every Friday I open up a discussion topic and ask you for your recommendations, experiences, questions, or general feelings on a specific topic.
These Threads are a way to share your knowledge and meet other people in the community, so please comment and do feel free to like and reply to other people as well - we’re all here because we are in the Rosacea Club! 🧡
This is such a tough one for me as I have really low self esteem which is why I didn't comment on the last post about this. However I am working in therapy about self worth so I will say I think I am a kind person.
I am really proud of you for commenting even though you find this hard. And I believe you when you say you're a kind person and I love that therapy is helping you to start to show that kindness to yourself as well as others x
Thank you Lex. I am trying to remind myself of the things that I do to make others feel better. I was the one who posted on your group when you were going through that bad patch asking others to remind you how thankful we are for what you do. Yet I don't give that kindness to myself 🤦♀️ Hopefully compassion focused therapy will change how I see myself!! X
I was telling someone about that the other day and got really emotional remembering it - it was such a kind thing to do and was such a bright spot in a really crappy time. So thank you. I am keeping everything crossed for you that you continue to see positive changes (I think this is definitely a sign that you're moving in the right direction!) x
You are more than welcome. I wanted you to remember all the good you have done! I shall tell mention this in therapy on Monday!! I said a nice thing about myself 😊 x
Like Emma said, it is tough to find something positive if you struggle.
I am the kind of person who likes to help others without waiting for a reward. Unfortunately, recently, I feel like people are using me, and I feel like for some of them, I'm just the comfortable option.
I tried to stay strong but I am still having days when I feel very vulnerable and weak.
I too am a very loyal person, in relationships, friendships, work and even to the gym I’ve gone to for many years. I think I try too hard though sometimes and should chill a bit more.
My answer: I'm a very loyal person and a good judge of character. Both are things that have served me well over the years!

Being able to recognize when you need help and not giving up are good qualities too.
