Is there anyone else who feels like their reaction to things is not genuine enough?
I feel like I can't respond or react with my genuine intention or feelings when someone does something nice for me. For example, when my friend gives me a gift and I really like it, inside, I feel very thankful and happy but it doesn't show instantly. So I feel like I have to 'act' to be very happy and grateful even though I actually feel very happy and grateful. Its like a 3 step process.
1.someone does something nice for me
2.I feel very happy and grateful inside
3.After deciding how to react, I let it outside, trying to be more thankful and genuine
I always do this, and I always feel like my reaction wasn't enough. I also do this when hearing compliments, casual talking etc.. many people told me that my responds/reactions to things didnt feel genuine😓 and I feel really bad because I actually felt that way. I feel so confused because other people seems like they react instantly, perfectly delivering how they feel about it. Is anyone else like this?
