The Trouble With Feedback

I had some good feedback on my own writing a couple of weeks ago. I learned how hard it is to hear positive comments about your work. My brain somehow turned every positive into a negative and assumed the worst. I was waiting for the 'but ....' to follow every positive comments. 

I had to consciously shake myself out of it because it wasn't getting me anywhere.

Am I the only one who finds good feedback harder to hear?
