Julie doesn't believe in herself.

Friend Julie doesn’t know how to take praise. Yes, give Julie a compliment. And an odd thing happens. She becomes embarrassed. And frequently takes offense.  As if she doesn’t deserve being lauded. Strange, isn’t it? Causes me to speculate that Julie has low self-esteem.  Which could be a contributing factor. For Julie being plagued by chronic depression. And why Julie has taken to drink.  Anyway, it’s a complicated self-destructive  situation. That needs to be resolved. Maybe in psychotherapy. I believe in Julie. So does husband Rick and her many friends. But there’s one big obstacle in the way. A lack of self-confidence. Julie doesn’t believe in herself. --Jim Broede
