Have you ever complemented someone only to have them say, oh that’s nothing or Oh I cant take credit for that it was luck they say something self deprecating. Maybe someone gives you a complement and you discount your own role in the accomplishment. Why do we do that? I was reading about something called Attribution Theory. This theory suggests that people often attribute their successes externally (sometimes to luck or say it was easy) but their failures they attribute internally. So we blame our lack of ability or effort. Check out Episode 498! I love you guys!
