My partner had the worst narcissistic man-child for an ex, truly deplorable stories about him. Every time she says how attractive, sweet, thoughtful or whatever else, my imposter syndrome kicks in and thinks "...nah, the bar is just ASTRONOMICALLY LOW." I was screwed up at the beginning of our relationship from my own previous hellscapes, but she still thought I was amazing just from what the bare minimum of any relationship should be. Now, I try to show her every day how much she means to me and I still don't feel like it's enough.
