Seriously I'd love it if someone could tell me what to say when a person compliments you besides...uh...thanks. It makes me feel awkward, uncertain, and a little apprehensive about why they're saying nice things. It's not that I don't...

Compliments scare me. I don't know what to do with them, or how I'm supposed to respond, or if I should pay one in return...
It's complicated. I've been paid a compliment, and not given one in return, and the other person had looked...

These days, I am far better at receiving compliments than I used to be. It is not a skill that I have perfected yet, but it certainly far better than it has been. With that in mind, I thought I would share my perspective on the matter...

My problem is that when i get a compliment, i just tend to flat-out say 'no I'm not' or that's not true, but thanks anyway for the thought!'
It also depends on what the compliment is, for some reason, if i get a compliment on how ...

I have no self esteem so naturally, when people give me compliments, I will not believe them, so I will turn them down immediately. The bad thing is, when I deny them, people get angry because they THINK that I would think that way, but...

I think it's because I don't trust that people aren't trying to use me or that that they're make fun of me or mess with my head. I don't want to make someone feel like that so i hardly ever compliment people, I think it hinders...

Even when I was little, I always felt embarrassed or as if they had to give me a compliment, that I wasn't worthy. I still feel this way, even more so because I'm not some perfect hot babe who has a perfect IQ. I have also been put down...

When I was a kid I never really got compliments. It was easier for my parents and siblings to point out the negative and laugh about something you did or do. So when I was younger if I got any compliments which was few I would freeze...

I don't know how to take compliments sometimes, because I wonder about someone's sincerity behind those words. I wonder about their motivation, about a hidden agenda, but if they assure me that they were being sincere, I take it in...

All my life I've had very low self esteem. When someone does compliment me, I always feel like they're either being condescending or else just saying it to be nice. I get told often how sweet I am and it always makes me feel like I'm...

For some reason, if a person calls me pretty or says something nice to me, I just can't take the compliment. I'm more likely to freak out or get offended! What's the deal with that?! I'm so strange.
