Noticed that a lot on here. I don't feel like I get influenced by someone flirting with me at Starbucks... I mean I don't know that person, I know they are just bored flirting. I myself engage in something like this (I don't mean to flirt) I just like to tell jokes and say funny things and put people at ease.
But when people say nice things to me, deep down... I believe them. And because not a lot of people say nice things to me... I tend to examine them more and be impressed by them and then... get horribly disappointed and bitter when they aren't as important as I build them to be.
I have kind of taken to immediately trying to vet nice words from my memory and push them to the back of my brain.
But I wonder sometimes if I am depriving myself of happiness and should embrace these things and let others push me back if they didn't really mean them. But usually that is crushing.
