This is the first time I have seen a good summary of the "not enough" thoughts I have had my whole life, and it all fits, including not being able to register outside recognition.
Was just talking about this with Eimear yesterday! It's hard to let yourself acknowledge how far you've come if you're internal monologue is telling you to keep pushing regardless.
So much great information in this piece, Jessica! I had that pattern for many years in my life where I did not recognize compliments or stop to acknowledge accomplishments. You broke it down so well.
You don’t need more proof.
You need to let what already exists actually register.
Curious what resonated most with you here.

Yeah it’s so hard! We must pause and acknowledge ourselves and give us time to let it sink in so our identity is able to full set in.
I’ve always had a hard time accepting compliments. My first instinct is to brush them off and move on. Work in progress...
we have to stop being so quick to accept then and say on to the next thing! hedonic adaptation is real!
the idea of not letting is land is indeed a challenge for many
Oh yes! Including myself!

Thank you so much, Eladio! It was a great reminder for me to stop and acknowledge things and let them soak into my identity.
Great post Jess, our brains need to process!
Yes they do and time to soak in the accomplishment or changes or updates.
