How do you accept compliments?

Hi, I mostly cannot agree with the compliments and would say to the person that I do not really deserve it. But then if they insist I would say thank you, while still not being able to accept it from within. However, sometimes when I do feel that the compliment is genuine and I do deserve it, I would blush as I am quite a shy person and accept it.

If I feel it was sincere then I give my appreciation by saying "thank you" or giving my warmest smile. On the other hand, some people just give compliment for the sake of just saying it but they don't really mean it, if that's the case, I just simply smile and think that the intention of giving the compliment is not really sincere at all.

A sincere "thank you" is enough. How would you feel if you complimented someone and that person did not agree or react to your compliment in a negative way? You won't feel good about it, right? And the person in return would think you accused him/her of being a liar. Just thank him/her and say "that's very nice of you" That's how I accept compliments. Have a nice day!

hi, of course i will be thankful or grateful when i accepting compliments,and that is what i am respond when someone have a compliments to me,and the additional thing that i can do is to continue those thing that they complimented to me.i love to accept compliments.

hi dear swirlz, here its the same. I say thank you but sometimes I disagree too as I think I dont "earn" this compliment, really.

It depends whether I agree or not. If it is something I agree with I will politely say thank you or I will just politely disagree and hope that they will not persist with it or I won't know how to react to that.

Sometimes I used to disagree until someone told me it was rude to disagree with someone who gives you a compliment. Still, sometimes I'll laugh it off. But I try to just say thank you now and change the subject if the compliment embarrasses me.

I accept them pretty much the same way gifts does. Happy mylotting!

Let me just tell you the lovely story of when I met a former boyfriend: I was at a hard rock bar with a couple of girlfriends, he was there with three male friends (members of his band at the time). He is not really one for going up to girls and strike up a conversation,so it took him about three pints and a lot of pep-talking from his friend before he work up the courage to come over to our table. He came up behind me and said "Hi!", planning to compliment my hair when i turned around, but when I did turn around and gave him a big smile, he was surprised and said ecxactely what was in his mind, which was: "Wow, you're really gorgeous!" The compliment was so heartfelt and so surprising to me, I reacted more or less on instinct, and replied: "Thank you, that is so nice of you to say!" We spent the next three hours chatting, and actually came home with him that night - the next three and a half years we were a couple : ) Long story short; my advice to you: whatever the compliment, say thank you (add that's sweet of you, or do you really think so or whatever if you feel the need) you never know where it might lead... My relationship with this particular guy ended 15 years ago, but I would not have been without for all the money in the world!

I always take compliment heartily and say a big thank you to the person that gave me compliments. It is a nice way of accepting their recognition of my good work that might have pleased them. Therefore, I feel obliged to thank them too.
