Your Type
When someone says something nice, your first move is to push back — not because you feel bad about yourself, but accepting praise feels odd, like a door you haven't learned to open. You have your own standards, and it takes time to let compliments actually land.
💡 Did you know?
Research shows about 70% of people's first response to a compliment is some form of negation or deflection — a combined effect of 'humility culture' and 'self-protection.' Interestingly, habitual deflectors need an average of 8 seconds before positive feedback is genuinely 'registered' by the brain.
