Why is self acceptance such a easy thing to break down on why you deserve it logically but so hard in absorbing it emotionally

My name is FrenchMarbles. I noticed nobody had commented on your forum post for a while. However, I came across your post and thought I would share my feelings regarding self-acceptance.
Thank you for your question. It is a rather tricky question to answer because it is easy to point out the negative aspects of ourselves and validate them, but it is near impossible to do the same regarding the positive aspects. It's frustrating because a friend can tell you all the positive things about you. However, you wouldn't believe it as strongly as someone saying something negative about you.
The big thing to remember is that you're self-aware of this, and it sounds like you want to better yourself. It takes a lot of self-care and compassion for you to do this, but I'm glad you asked because many people feel the same way, including myself, and it's frustrating when it's not easy to read instructions on how to accept yourself.
It would be ideal if you connected to one of our trained active listeners to discuss this; further, it might be an idea to work on a little at a time to ensure you're in tune with your emotions. I'm excited to see how you progress; best of luck!
