please, how do i fix low self esteem?

having an epiphany i am my biggest critic and it's killing me that i can't even accept compliments, my immediate reaction is to deny and move on

Try to get past the idea that you need to "fix" something about yourself. This mindset is not only disparaging, but it creates a binary state. If it's 1 or 0 then you'll never be able to feel good about where you are, even as you improve. When can you say you're "fixed"? Embrace the process, not outcome, of growth 🌱
