Feels Any Criticism He Receives Is True

Value
Common, Strong: 15 Points • Common, Total: 20 Points
Description
A character with this Complication believes that every critical word said about him is true, even if the criticism has no basis in reality at all. He has a hard time holding on to a positive self-image in the face of any critical appraisal. He can accept compliments and will believe praise about himself, but tends to accept other people's harsher judgments of him more readily. Note that obviously ridiculous criticism will not be believed, but jokingly made sarcastic remarks not meant as criticism will be taken at face value.
At the Strong level, this Complication functions as a variant of Low Self-Esteem. At the Total level, it functions as a variation of Inferiority Complex.
