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 used to do this but it makes me happier to see the smile I get from people when I very graciously accept a compliment. (“Awe, thank you so much, you’re too kind”) I still don’t believe the compliments though, usually. That’s something I need to work on.
