Compliments

hey seems like u are a kinda shy-fellow.. just feel good about urself--appreciate compliments with good responses.. all u need is confidence

I have a hard time accepting compliments too most of the time, there are those rare times when I can accept them and actually believe them, but those times are rare. I'd try and just smile and say thank you while thinking what you would actually respond with without actually saying it out loud to them.

I use to be the same way and always made some silly comment which would put myself down as well. I think it's because we don't feel we deserve the compliment or we're just not use to hearing it. Now I just smile and say thank you and then generally change the subject. :)

I find it very difficult to accept a compliment until I learnt from a friend of mine that if you feel good about or yourself or proud about what you have accomplished than you need not fear the compliment. |If you are not afraid you'll smile when you get a compliment.

Just say "Thank you" and give them a genuine smile. Believe in yourself and accept the compliment as a sign to your heart that you are headed in the right direction.

Nothing is more tastless than returning a sincere compliment with a careless comment such as the one you quoted. If someone is nice enough to compliment you on your hair, simply smile and say thank you. I enjoy complimenting people, but sometimes regret it when they give me a thoughtless response. A gracious smile and "Thank you" is all that's necessary. You don't have to go into where you get your hair done, where you bought something, or what you paid for it. "Thank you" and a smile--that's it.

i like compliments,honest ones...i receive a lot of them everyday...some of them are honest,some not..but i always say just thank you for every compliment i got..im am used to get many of them,but its allways very nice when somebody says to you something nice..just say thank you..

Now I'll just take them. When I had lower self esteem, I would put myself down in response. But now I've learned that's actually kind of insulting to the person who made the compliment. It's like if you said to someone, "Oh, that's a lovely shirt!" And they said, "Oh I hate it, it's so ugly!" Then it's like they just told you that you have bad taste in shirts. So it's like you are telling people they have bad taste in hair.

i can relate to your problem. all i can say is yout should learn the difference between flattery compliment. compliment is desirable and boosts up our self esteem. so you can enjoy it as long as it is not flattery. we do require compliments in order to get going even though most of us get embarrassed. my advice would be just chill down, give a nice, genuine smile and say THANK YOU. remember you certainly deserve that bit of compliment. u can even utter back another compliment for the person who complimented you. donot miss to praise someone for some good thing he/ she does. this is really required. and when u are complimented, back home while reclining splurge yourself in the good words and pamper yourself. thank you

I used to feel uncomfortable too but someone (I can't remember who) told me that when someone compliments you, just say 'thank you' graciously and accept their compliments. And that's what I've been doing til today.

I have the same problem with u. My partner always complain as to why i don't react nicely when he compliments me. most people think it's rude if u say "No, I dont look good" when they say U do. And it's also even more rude when we don't say thank you for it. I have this common reaction whenever someone compliments me, I look around and then say "Me?" pointing to myself:P I am never used to compliments and I think will never be but I just try to smile and say a small thanks whenever I get one, even if i dont believe it. It makes us shy especially if we are still getting the hang of it. But im sure later on, u will get use to it. Just practise slowly with the smile first. A silent Thank You(",)

You can just say Thank You and change the topic. Some comments are quite useful if they are genuinely made. Of course it is very difficult to find out whether they are genuine are not.

All you have to do is say thank you. People who give out compliments don't usually expect a compliment back. They say it because they really mean it. And you don't have to put yourself down to accept a compliment.A true compliment comes from respect and love, so the next time someone gives you a compliment, say thank you. You deserve it.

This is often a problem because we care about how other people would take our response. I suggest, just to take away negative reactions from other people, just smile,and say a little joke to make others smile or compliment the person complimenting you. Example: "Hey youre really beautiful", you smile and say, "Thanks, but not as attractive compared to your bag, oh my god whered you get that?" Well, im not sure how others would take this..but its worth a try.

I am also very uncomfortable when I receive a compliment. I usually say something like "okay" or get off the topic. I sometimes say thank you, but it is hard to do. I do give compliments a lot and the people I give them too accept them about the same way I do. I guess a lot of people do what we do.

There is no specific way to respond to in this situation . Be natural & accept it if u like it else u know better what do to ? I dont have such a proble so i cant say antything special abt it.

The only answer you should give to a compliment is Thanks. Try it..you'll learn to appreciate the compliments and other's will actually want to give them to you. Putting yourself down gives a bad impression of what you think of yourself, and sometimes, all it takes for them to think of you as confident is that you show them that you are! That is very attractive. Just try it once or twice and see how it feels :)

sure, i hear compliments but i always say thank you and sort of pretend to blush. hahaha! so i won't seem to cocky.. you know? just be flattered.. =)

I think your problem is the lack of confidence you have in yourself. You don't feel you are worthy of kind words. Take a look in the mirror, if you are proud of what you see, if not change it. You will feel so much better about yourself.

Earlier in my life I would have been embaressed by the compliment too. However with time I realized this should make me happy not bad, so my usual reply is a super friendly smile and "thank you". Then later in are conversation or next time I see them I try and give them a nice compliment. Girls (and I assume boys)love it!!!!
