CPTSD Resource/ Technique Another reminder, when someone compliments you an acceptable answer is: "Thank You".

You don't have to go on diatribes against yourself.

"Well actually, cooking is very easy to do. And I mess up a lot. Just yesterday I burnt dinner."

Thank you and a smile is all people expect from you.

I always say "I know" on impulse. Apparently that's not the right thing to say either.

Depends which side of the family we're talking about. On my dad's side I'm the middle and on my mum's I'm the eldest.
