Do you feel obliged to return the compliment whenever someone compliments you?

i don't feel obliged to return a compliment, and well when i compliment a girl i don't expect a compliment back.i think if she wanted to say something nice should would anyway. or vice versa. when i get compliments i usually just smile. i think (and im not sure about this but..) guys' reactions to compliments and girls' are different. i think when we, guys receive compliments we say 'thanks' through body gestures, girls i think verbally say 'thank you' or 'you too'. I'm not so sure, what do you guys think? anyway,to answer the question no i don't feel obliged to return the compliment.

I'm kind of shy... When someone pays me a compliment I usually say thank you and something nice back to them in return. If we look beyond the "outside" physical makeup of everyone we can see a deeper beauty that we all can admire.

I would never give a compliment to someone just because they gave me one, however, I am not shy about accepting a compliment from someone like I was when I was younger. I don't know, maybe I thought I didn't deserve it, but now I am much more gracious about it and always thank the person who complimented me. On the other hand, I will always compliment someone if I feel they warrant it. I always notice a new hairstyle, a nice piece of jewelry, a new outfit or, if someone mentions that they have gotten a raise or a promotion at work, I always compliment them on that. It's just one of many ways friends can be supportive of each other.

I feel obliged to simply tell the person thank you It sounds strange when a compliment is replied to with a compliment back. Almost like the two people are trying to out-do one another

Hello Iskayz, I will definitely return the compliment whenever someone compliment me, I got nothing to lose anyway and it can help each other to feel better. I will basically be a mirror to the compliment, for example, if someone said my shirt looks nice, I will reply 'yours too'. If someone tells me that haircut is cool, I will reply 'yours too'. At the end of the conversation, both of us will feel great about ourselves and might even hit it off. Be generous when it comes to compliment.

When I get a compliment I thank the person who complimented me and I go on my way. I feel like if I compliment back I will make it seem like I am just trying to please them in return, and when I have returned a compliment, I don't actually believe the compliment I said, making it not a genuine comment, which makes me feel bad. I don't like when I compliment someone and they compliment me in return as well, because then I feel like I pressured them into saying something back, and I know that they most likely don't mean it. You just need to take compliments one at a time and don't bunch them all together to return the favor, or in other words reciprocate.

It really depends on how sincere the compliment is and under what circumstances is the compliment given. Usually, I do return a compliment when someone compliments me. I will just say Thank You and smile. If I feel that the compliment is insincere, I will just laugh it off. I find it weird to return a compliment as it seems too deliberate. It seems very obvious that we are doing it for the sake of doing it.

Yeah, I do. I get compliments a lot and I don't know how to handle them, lol. I'm like yeah whatever and stuff. Compliments are weird to me. I do compliment others especially when they aren't too confident with what they are doing, saying or wearing.

The best way to receive compliments is to accept them. Say thank you for the compliment. I don't think that it's necessary to return a compliment. It will sound rather awkward anyway. There was one day when my colleague complimented me and I said "Thank you!" Then she said that that should be the way people accept compliments from others. Be gracious, accept compliment without having to return it.

Hey there, I respond to compliments by usually just smiling or saying thank you. Sometimes if my brain is fast enough to think of something I could compliment the person who complimented on me, then I would compliment the person back. Usually a compliment I get is always unforseen so most of the times I do noit have enough time to think of a quality that I could point out of the person who complimented me so yeah, I just smile and thank you.

hey friend..!! personally when my friends or relatives give me compliment i just say thank u..but not return the complement bcs it seems not good..!! and just saying thanks to them..!! and ya its good to give complement to others..there's nothing bad in that..!! keep lotting..!!

i would say thank you for sure.i won't feel obliged to return it though i will try to find something nice to him/her that i could compliment also.im sure everyone has,but if if there's none..a thank you would do.i wouldn't say a lie just to make someone good of himself or tell a lie just to make someone happy.it's a no no to me.heaps,.happy mylotting!="^_^"=

Naah i dont care about people complimenting me!

Hello there! I dont feel obligated to return compliments at all. I just say thank you, or something or even smile. But honestly i just give compliments to those who really deserve them. I mean to say im very honest and direct when it comes to that....like...Ohhh that shirt really goes well with you, or that hair colour makes you look younger etc...but only if its true you know...And if i get a complimet, i just say thank you, i feel no obligation to return it. Its not like you purchased something and you have to pay for it...thats my point. :P

I really like getting compliments. It makes someone feel really good about themselves. I got several compliments at work this week. Someone told me they liked my scrubs (I work at a doctor's office), someone told me my lipstick was pretty, someone thanked me for being so nice and for making their visit at the doctor's office so easy,etc... It really made me feel good. I just thanked them and smiled. I don't think everytime someone compliments you that you have to return the compliment. I will return it if I have something to say back but not always.

Not really. If someone complimented me, I thank her or him. But not necessarily compliment the person ,too. Except I see something worth complementing. Or I am in the mood to make some fun with the person - I return the compliment by saying the same exact words.

I don't feel obliged complimenting others when they complimented me. It will be a fake compliments if i do it just to thank them for complimenting me. I do compliment people if i find something nice or they are good to look at.

Saying thank you will do for the compliment that was given. there is no need to give back another compliment if you are not that sincere with the compliment that you will be giving out. :) Have a great day!!!

yeah it normal when you recieve compliment you show sign of appreciation by saying thank you.

Whenever I get compliments I usually say thanks and try to compliment them back. I don't really know how to handle compliments, so it's always kind of weird.
