The old Brit dismissed anyone that said anything too nice about her. Because I didn't believe those things about myself. And if you thought too much good stuff about me then you must not be that smart because I'd been able to pull the wool over your eyes. And so it got to where I treated H badly for being my cheerleader because I didn't believe deep down that I was a good person to cheer for. And now I feel like I need to tell him that I appreciate him always believing in me especially when he didn't get much of an incentive to.
I know you noticed this a while back about "the old Brit". And I'm really happy that you chose to practice the GOOD habit of accepting and gratefully acknowledging appreciation (especially) when it is sincere (and even if it might not be, believe in yourself anyhow and accept it), no matter what you used to think about yourself and your (very real and valid) accomplishments.
