Taurus

When someone says something kind about you and it feels wrong in your mouth, the problem is usually not with their words but with what you gave up to deserve them. The compliment points to a version of yourself that required too much careful editing, too much saying yes when you meant maybe, too much smoothing over the parts that used to have edges. You built something they could admire, and now their admiration feels like proof of how far you have drifted from what you actually wanted to become. The discomfort is not about their praise. It is about the price you paid to earn it.
