OK. That wasn't me - it was Bill Nighy, but that's how I feel!!

I have been invited to a hotel where they are presenting awards (which mostly just come through the post) for the Computer course I was following. I packed it in when I was 2/3 way through all the subjects, but am still owed two certificates.
Of course, my wife wants to see me go up on stage to receive the award:cover: Usually, I want to skulk away in a corner; If I ever buy raffle tickets, I sit there silently saying "Please don't let me win anything!!"
I guess now she has hold of the letter, I will have to go...........

michel said:Now some of you are mentioning different circumstances, I find that It is not "just" the stage - it is the receiving of the award.
My wife and I took part in an amateur dramatics play at the local church (trying to raise funds for charity)..and yet I felt fine about that.
Do you think that it might be because some of us find it hard to accept compliments ? - especially public ones......

michel said:You see, I feel that is totally undeserved, and am so glad that this is over the internet; if we were face to face, I would dig a quich hole in the ground and get into it.........
Maybe this has something to do with the way we have been brought up, and lived our lives ?
I was PMing another member earlier today about the fact that I came to realize that we are so quick to point out bad behaviour or negative traits in our children; it was a real effort to remember to praise them at every opportunity........I guess life is busy and we are too quick to grumble, but don't make the time to praise.
