In another characteristically honest episode, Lisa unpacks the weird, squirmy discomfort of receiving a compliment-- and why some people would rather fake a seizure than say, "Thank you." She and Nick discuss the fine line between humility and self-loathing, the deeply rooted need to deflect praise, and why accepting kindness is somehow more stressful than death and public speaking. Listeners include one woman who panic every time someone says something nice to her, and another who wonders if she's fishing for validation or is just emotionally constipated.
