Congratulated Or Insulted

Most of the time,
I'm not understanding...
If I am being congratulated or insulted.
Not that I seek to be naïve...
Although to some I can be.
I am one of those vulnerable types.
Trying to keep that sensitive creative mind,
Assessible and in touch.

How can I be empathetic...
If I believe I know so much?
I am just receptive with an acceptance of it!
And when I am approached to be congratulated...
I 'sense' a hint of insulting indulgence being done!
