How do you handle it when someone compliments you. I don't like to be complimented cuz I don't know how to react. I just say thanks and walk away. How do you handle it???

Hi there, I don't like compliments either. I get really embarrassed....not sure why. I used to get so embarrassed that I couldn't speak or anything. Now I do say thankyou but quickly try to change the subject or like you walk away. It all depends on who it is and where I'm at. At work, I can't just walk away. It also depends what they are complimenting me on.

see that is exactly what I feel like. I never know what to say or do. Sometimes it is easier to smile and walk away/

It depends on the person who praises, if it is from my mom then I will hug and will say thank you, friends just normal thanks. Unknown person gives compliment to us in a decent way then will just give a smile and Thanks. The compliment I would like to get everyday is from my B.F, If it is from your partner then it will be completely different, we will be very happy. especially when he comments on your beauty and the way u dress up.

I so agree that you should get a compliment from your partner every day. What a great life that would be., It would be great if all relationships had that.

I will say thinks, and then walk away. Sometimes, I will smile to them. I am a little diffidence, I admit. People around me know me, they don't blame me anyway. I didn't handle it well,I know it. This is me, it's hard to change.

Hello PEETRE, I handle it by saying thank you or thanks. If I know the person I stay and talk to them. But if I have never met the person I will also walk away after thanking them.

i handle it by saying thanks or thank you, and more often than not, i try to find something to compliment them about. i mean, sometimes, there just isn't anything, but i still say thank you for what they said, and than yea, i walk away.

I guess that is all you can do is smile and say thank you.
