The Compliment Trap: A Stoic Take on Anxiety

A lesson on patience. What thoughts pop into your head when someone tosses you a compliment?

Even praise can test our inner-peace. The ego rushes to cling, the doubt rushes to reject – F them both! As Bill Clinton once famously questioned… “what is is?”

Accept simply is and stay still within yourself. Easy said than done, I agree, if you’re less than well adjusted.

For some, the moment someone compliments you, your brain immediately forgets how to human.

Accepting kindness can be harder than giving it. But learning to receive positivity without defense & judgement is its own quiet strength. 🫶
