Quote: I, too, have difficulties accepting compliments. Just like your W, if someone says "Gee, your hair looks nice today." I answer with "Thanks, but I really need a haircut." Although on the inside....I was secretly very appreciative of the compliment.....maybe that's my own personal issue - it's not as if I don't feel that I deserve the compliment, rather I'm just not so very good at accepting it because I don't really care what anyone thinks of my hair. Perhaps because that's not my LL?
You hit it right on with this. I KNOW that me telling her these things does nothing for her, or at least she doesn't show it. I don't think it is her love language at all but it's for sure my secondary one, so of course, I do it all the time to her...lol. Anyway, I do know that she cares DEEPLY what other people think of her, just not so much me so it frustrates me to not have her accept MY compliment when compliments by OTHERS mean so much to her. She will ALWAYS tell me with a smile on her face when someone will stop her in the store and tell her how nice her hair is or something like that, yet when I say it to her, like you said, she just comes back with "yea, thanks, but I need a haircut..."
