Do you ever feel a bit embarrassed when someone gives you a compliment?

No Pyewacket I don't. Like you if its a compliment about my work, or my children lets say, I am perfectly fine, but if someone says I am pretty or anything about me or my person it makes me very uncomfortable. I am not sure why that is, but I usually end up saying something stupid and unnecessary.

kind of..i've met a few people when they compliment,you wonder what their real angle is. i hate to be that way,but it's true in some cases.

I think everyone does at some point...it's just one of those feelings we have no control over even if we don't admit it we all love it when someone pays us a compliment.

Hello,pyewacket,i feel happy when someone give me a compliment,i will say thank you to them.Sometimes people tell me I am a nice woman,i will accept them and try to show them i am really nice.I will not feel awkward.

Well I'm an outgoing person, but when someone gives me a compliment. I guess I do kinda get shy and say awww, thank you. I don't really take compliments very well. Unless it comes to my cooking! When I get a compliment I really don't know how to accept it, as I don't want to say the wrong thing. I'm flattered when someone gives me a compliment , and I think I tend to blush a bit. I feel more comfortable giving them, than recieving them.

Some people tend to be ambiguous. Some saying things they don't really mean. Others do it to mislead you and think of you as a fool if you believe them so they can feel better about themselves, thinking their the better man. Others do it just to get attention, expecting a compliment in return. Other people find it hard to give praises and if they do its rather true. I too get awkward when someone i barely know compliments me, i just smile and try to change the subject, but sometimes i try to return the favor to satisfy his/her ego,hehe...that's 1 reason i get awkward too. But in the case of my friends, we don't give praises, we criticize and laugh about it coz we know we mean the opposite.;-) like they say "you don't need to explain. Your friends will understand and your enemy won't believe you anyway."

i am not good in handling compliments. even if i am not a caucasian, i blush and feel a bit embarrassed. but i do say thank you to the person and smile. but most of the time, i comment back using lines like "no. not really. but thanks" or "oh, it was nothing. but thanks". okey, i seem silly. i just don't know how to really handle compliments at all. but saying thank you is the best way i can make the person feel their compliments are accepted... anne

Well I don't really feel awkward I go Shy as I never be used to getting Compliments to be honest I was only used to being pulled down all the time by my EX Husband and now I find it hard to believe when People pay me compliments to be honest I think they are just being nice

I fell little shy each one time someone gives me a compliment even if i know that he is right.I mean they are sometimes anyone can give you a compliment just make you fell better or because he want be polite,but also sometimes that just he say the truth,even if I know I fell little awkward don't knowing what I must say...

I feel embrassed when people compliment me. At the same time i feel that i have to do much better to save that compliments.

One thing I learned from a mother's friend is to accept compliment with graciousness. That we shouldn't feel awkward nor be embarrassed. I can easily do that except that there are some compliments are too shallow and not sincere. If someone complimented you, flaunt it, LOL!

I did get many compliments as a child from my mom and my dad. I did like it because it made me feel good. My son and my brother and my mom always give me compliments to this day. It still makes me feel good and I in return always give them compliments. It makes me feel good to give compliments also. I think if a person deserves a compliment, then I should give it to them. My husband doesn't give compliments very often, because when he was growning up his family didn't ever compliment him.

I accept with a smile and a little shy hehehe, I'm not eally shy person but I feel it'is to much if they will say in public or with people I dont really know. It is okay wiht me with friends around coz we our friends gives compliment to each other.

At the beginning,I felt embarrassed when someone gave me a compliment.I don't think how good I am and how perfect my work is.So I always try to avoid it.But now I can handle it easily.One reason is I change another way to think.Maybe my work and my character are really good,otherwise,my friends won't give me compliment and praise me.The other reason is I have been accustomed to it.When you heard such words frequently,you will ignore it and consider it as common as other words.

I came from a family who didnt give compliments out. So when I get one I feel happy and thankful for it. I dont think we give each other enough compliments today. Your a nice persone pyewacket and you deserve to be complimented.

I used to feel very awkward, until someone told me once that it offended them that I acted that way - brushing off their compliment. It made me realize that (sincere) people deserve a "thank you" or show of your appreciation. I usually will say "Thank you, that was nice of you to notice" or something like that.

You know, I think I react much the same way you do. It's refreshing and flattering to hear, no doubt, but there is still something that makes me feel a little bit weird when I get them. It's because I am still not really totally used to hearing them, so a lot of times that I still don't feel right getting them. I try to accept them easily... and I am honestly getting better. But it's still hard sometimes.

This is too easy too respond to...I don't get them...lol. I'm pleased if someone says the garden looks nice and my friend always tells me I "look nice" when I'm dressed to go shopping but he also has a habit of staring at my boobs when we talk and I have to say "My eyes are up here, mate". So that cancels out the compliment I reckon. But I don't feel awkward...I just know how to dress, like you know your artwork is good.

no i don't feel a bit embarrssed when somebody gives me a compliment... you must be proud of it that there is this someone who gives you a compliment...

no way. i feel proud wen som1 compliments me. although wen ppl keep on saying the same thng again n again in frnt of same set of ppl, yes tht time i feel lik running 4 cover!
