  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

How well do you take complements?

I say "thank you" and then "Yes, it's real. I don't know how to use photoshop."
 
I'm awful with compliments. I immediately duck them and try to diminish whatever it is they're praising. I got that from my father, who does it even more so than I do. :)

I always feel awkward and somewhat embarrassed, but I try to be polite and offer one back.
 
I've rarely gotten them so it's always kind of awkward when I receive one. Usually I just played it off but at least now I try to recognize it and thank them.
 
i unsheathe my katana and strike the person down!

wait. compliments?

i get slightly embarrassed and thank them for it. ;)
 
It depends on what's being complimented. If it's something I think/know I'm good at then, I probably get all bashful but if you tell me I'm hot then I'll probably tell you to stop bullshitting. And that was hot, not cute, sexy, good looking, or handsome, they're all different things.
 
Thank them and then try to find SOMETHING to compliment them on
 
I blush a little sometimes but a lot of the time I agree with them :badgrin:

Somebody complement me, quick!
 
Just say "thanks" and don't think too much about it.

It's a verbal gift: take it, tell him/her you appreciate it and then totally forget it about.

Agreeing with the compliment seems egoistical. Disagreeing with compliment seems egoistical AND manipulative (like you are trying to get the person to compliment you more by talking more about you).

Now leave me a comment on how brilliant that is ^ and I'll appreciate it. Thanks.
 
>>>After they leave a low voice at the back of my head says "bullshit."

Ditto. Except the low voice isn't in the back of my head. And I don't wait until they leave.

>>>Now leave me a comment on how brilliant that is ^ and I'll appreciate it. Thanks

Brilliant, Ramikans. :)

I think it's interesting just how many people have responded to this thread saying they either diminish it, are embaressed by it or generally don't believe it. It's a shame that we all seem to be so insecure where compliments are concerned. I'm just as bad, I am always uncomfortable when complimented because it's a fairly rare occurance. When it does happen I usually just smile and thank them and change the subject.

I think one of the reasons that we feel embarrassed about getting a complement is that in truth the biggest critic of how we look is ourselves and see all of our imperfections i.e. weight, hair, face you name it that when some one does give a complement there is a part of just that feels good about ourselves, but at the sometime as Dorkzilla stated there is that tiny voice in us that say; "Bullshit"
 
I consider myself lucky to have found my boyfriend. We complement each other quite well.
