Quote by David Nicholls

You know what i can't understand? You have all these people telling you all the time how great you are, smart and funny and talented and all that, i mean endlessly, i've been telling you for years. So why don't you believe it? why do you think people say that stuff, Em? Do you think it's a conspiracy, people secretly ganging up to be nice about you?

You know what i can't understand? You have all these people

Summary

This quote questions the self-doubt that some individuals experience despite receiving numerous compliments and affirmations. It highlights the discrepancy between others' positive perceptions and the individual's internal belief system. The speaker wonders why the person, named "Em," struggles to accept and believe such accolades. The quote suggests that perhaps Em's lack of belief stems from skepticism, as if they view these compliments as part of a collective plot to deceive them rather than genuine expressions of admiration.
