Over the last few months we've been talking about beauty--as defined by ourselves, most importantly, but also as defined by others here at school, in society and in the media. As girls and women, it's often easier to be self-critical than self-confident. Have you ever gotten a compliment and then immediately starting denying it, deflecting it, or even putting yourself down?
Why do we do that?
Why is it so much easier to acknowledge our flaws than our stregths?

I'm sad to say that I missed this meeting. Me and my friend planned to go to this one but because of some stuff we completely forgot. I wished I was here though. This was a topic I would've liked to discuss very much as I often do the same
I can tell you two reasons why most people do that.
1. They don't want to believe the compliment because they want self-pity
2. they want more compliments. "wow your really skinny!" "oh no, I am fat" "What are you talking about your perfect!"
that is a classic example. people just want more and more compliments.
