How do you handle a compiment?

I am really terrible at taking compliments. I never feel I've done anything worthy of praise. I used to try and blubber through saying I hadn't done anything, but now I just say "Thank you" and leave it at that.

There was a time when I felt funny about receiving a compliment. Now I thank the person and add to the conversation that pertains to the compliment.

I don't get them often so I don't know what I would do.

i always beam with a smile and say thank you, then enjoy the flattered feeling all day long, LOL!

I try to be gracious about it and thank the person that gave me the compliment. I also try to be humble about it too, but I don't usually go so far as to say I don't deserve it. I was raised in the Southern US so I guess it's just part of the regular interaction there - if you get a compliment you're supposed to be gracious but demure about it.

I accept it graciously.

I used to suggest that I didn't deserve it, but I've gotten better about it now. I now thank the person for it and smile.
