Sick Social Cycle Complaints and Compliments

When Jill is getting dressed to go out, and sometimes just after looking in the mirror, she says things like, “this makes me look bad!”

Howard, Jill’s husband, honestly doesn’t agree and when he hears her complain he quickly corrects her by saying “No, you’re beautiful, Jill.”
