Negative focus
You focus on the negative, ignoring or misinterpreting positive aspects of a situation. You focus on your weaknesses and forget your strengths, looking on the dark side of it all. Let's say (now that the sun is showing itself more) you have done a good job at the Gardening, somebody tells you how lovely it is and how gorgeous your flowers are etc..you would filter out the positive comment and focus totally on the negative things.
The only thing I can suggest at this moment is to practice. Practice taking compliments. Even if we just keep our mouths shut!
