Aysa,
You touched on something I think about a lot. The whole sincerity thing. Many times when my T compliments me, I just laugh and immediately think he is saying that because as you say, it is good for me to hear and I have big self esteem issues. But we have had conversations where he says absolutely never says anything that isn't true just to make someone feel good.
I have no idea what to believe. While it is nice to hear these things, I still don't 100% believe them. And many times I just think that I have fooled him just as I fool most people in my life who think I am smarter or more creative than I truly actually am. sigh.
