I really think that this link deserves its own thread. I can split it for you if you'd like, but its your call Alethia.

Anyhow, here are my results:

Below are questions designed to help you discover how comfortable you are in receiving love.  Rank each item with S for “sometimes,” O for “often,” or R for “rarely” or N for “never.”

1. _R__ Do you feel uncomfortable when somebody brags about you?
2. _R__ Do you feel negative toward someone else who is bragged about?
3. _R__ Do you get gifts and then feel obligated?
4. _N__ Do you devalue the gifts others give you?
5. _R__ Do you deflect compliments when you get them?
6. _R__ Do you ask for something, get it, and then find something wrong with it?
7. _S__ Do you find yourself mainly remembering only the “bad times”?
8. _S__ Does it seem to you that no one wants you to have what you want?
9. _N__ Do you say “I want you to offer it,” and when your partner does, you say your partner offered it only because you asked for it?
10. _R__ Do you feel uncomfortable when another person is getting all the attention?
11. _R__ Do you feel like “nothing is ever good enough”?
12. _N__ Do you feel uncomfortable wanting things for yourself?
13. _N__ Do you say you don’t want it then complain about not getting it?
