Does anyone else get a strong sense of guilt and shame from receiving *positive* attention?
For decades, I’ve had not only a sense of guilt for receiving it, but a worry that someone is going to be mad at me for getting it, that I’m going to look like I’m making too much of myself and gobbling up the attention
It’s not a coincidence, i don’t think, that often there was someone there who resented the positive attention I got and made clear that they did
