Compliments

I do the same thing some times.It just catches me off gaurd and I stumble trying to find the right words.

yes sometimes we do forget answering with the "thank you" However we do know that it is not good manners to not to reply when some one really congrats or compliment us on our work .

its because men have an inbuilt reaction to be a he-man. if someone says you are sooooo hot! to a guy, their automatic reaction is yeah throw some ice over me.. something like that. something really cheesey and stupid, and its to numb their embarrasment. whereas what they should say, is aww thanks very much, this shirts new.. haha :)

Compliments that we are receiving is not always positive, there will be always negative compliments. There's no specific technique to handle compliments specially the negative ones. The positive ones gives us encouragement while the negative compliments helps us to improve our work, personality and etc.

Yup it happens. Sometimes when people say nice things about me, I would say "Not really" or "Really?". But I realized that giving a compliment is sometimes hard, so you have to give them the credit and just say "thanks". :)

i think it is embarassment, that stops us accepting compliments, though the causes for that embarassment can be complicated. i make sure i say thank you now, because one day i realised that the person who gives a compliment can sometimes be hurt if we don't acknowledge it, by accepting it. it is like a present, and think how hurt you would be if you offered a present and someone refused to accept it. when you remember that the other person may be hurt if you don't it is much easier to overcome embarassment and accept it. though, please don't now feel guilty about all those not accepted, as that gets us nowhere. the past is past and cannot be changed.

For me is that you feel be happy and gave thanks so that they said appreciated on there part.

When someone compliments me, I often say "thank you". Although I suggest you keep a look-out for those who just flatter for their own motives. I think it's nice to give a compliment to someone but it's never nice to compliment someone for your own game, people will find it manipulative in many areas.

It sometimes arrests us that someone actually appreciates us. I sometimes giggle sheepishly. However, before learning to promptly say "Thank you," I had to learn my own self worth. Or that I really am great at what I do. It should be a big deal that something gives you a compliment if you know you gave your 100%.

Some say, when you receive a compliment you shall say; "thank you!" in response to let the person have the pleasure to give you that appreciation. I sometimes I want to return that appreciating compliment immediately, but some say it is impertinent to the giver. First of all I'm not used to receive compliments. But I say, mostly thank you ever so much for your appreciation about me.

I will be very honest here :) I think I'm weird person because I don't know how to receive compliments. When someone tells me compliments I don't know if this person joking and I should feel offended or I should be grateful because this was honest compliment. So no compliments for me because I don't know how to receive it. Maybe I will learn someday.

Hey Flash! I was in the same pool in the beginning when I was very new to the corporate working style. I have seen many employees complimenting their counterparts on their achievements and I then dreamt about the same. How would it be when I have achieve the success and people come and congratulate me and what should be the response. I have thought I should reply them back with a few phrases, and the funniest part is that I do not remember any of them and put a blank face for a second or two and come up with a normal Thank You thing! I am pretty disappointed by this gesture which I do not think is good, will certainly try and implement the other gestures and hope will also create enthusiasm to the person who is complimenting me so that he would also have the desire to get compliments some day.

Many good people always try to appreciate the good work and give their feedback. We should be thankful to them who appreciate or provide their feedback, if the feedback suggests some improvements, we should take it postively. Some time we skip to thank them, I belive we should try to make a habit to thank them.

Yeah sometimes it did happen to me too. Actually, I just can't say the word but deep inside I felt good. So, I wanted to correct it by simply being conscious that my act was not acceptable. At first, it was really a struggle in my part as I could hardly say the word "thanks" not even TY (short version of thank you). Until finally, saying those words whenever necessary became ordinary to me.

Hi Flash! I understand that! Because I'm usually like that. I find it hard to accept the compliments. I mean, I'm happy to have been given the compliments but all I usually say is.. "not really"... We're too embarrassed to accept it and I think it's because people might think.. "Woah! This person believes in herself too much!". People might think we're arrogant. I think it's because of that. Cheers.

It is the same with me. I feel thankful but fail to express it. In stead I might give a loving smile. I think he/she would understand my feeling of gratitude through that smile. Afterwards I begin to question myself. I could have said something, What woould he /she thought about me...all such vexing thoughts cloud my mind for a while. I decide to to better in future but repeat the same thing later.It has something to do with my being as such which I cannot escape.

Like you i am one of those who really find it difficult to say thank you. I don't know why but i feel embarrassed whenever somebody pays a compliment that i just try to divert their attention to another topic instead of saying thank you. But sometimes i do say thank you but only to those people who would give me a compliment online. The only reason i could think of why i couldn't say thank you is my own embarrassment because i think that if i do say thank you then it would mean i have accepted that compliment to be true.

can sometimes be difficult to accept a compliment or some excuse. Even when they match. This is very nice but it happens many times a person does not know how to react and be rather ignorant at this point. Have a nice day!

Even I fell like that; but not many times.; I try to be friendly with all and I do mention "Thank you","If you you don't mind" etc etc many times.I just use polite words while talking with others, so that it tends them to be more polite with us, Right !? Feeling is really different for all; I do admit your feeling !

There is a saying in China: good medicine is always bitter but is effective at our illness, honest advice is unpleasant to our ear but is good for us. You are a wise person not to be indulged in other people's compliment.
