I had considered seeing a therapist at one point in my life. Maybe I'll do so again later.

I too have trouble accepting compliments from other people sometimes. And sometimes I honestly don't believe the compliment is worth me, either because I've become too modest or I genuinely look down on myself.

I think I also sometimes I don't accept compliments well is because occasionally I fear becoming exceedingly arrogant. Sometimes I am afraid of becoming so overconfident that it'll cloud my mind. On the other hand, being too 'underconfident' can cloud my mind as well. I guess we just have to strike a balance and maintain a good attitude.
