How do you take a compliment?

[Deleted User]

Normally if someone compliments me I'll smile, look at them in the eye and say thank you. But depending on the situation the person might compliment me a second or third time and I feel like a social robot if I just keep on saying thank you.

I would take it with a grain of salt.

I act weird and know it's not true.
today someone said too many compliments to me, I'll tell you: it's suspicious!

I just replied "ahh?" and looked surprised.
I'm not used to receive any. it's just not natural.

or maybe I act like Chopper (one piece).

If it's from a coworker, family friend, or parents, "Thank's y'all, that means a lot."
If it's from a friend of classmate, "LOL, u high?"

In all seriousness, i just say thank you, and try to act humble about it regardless if its true or not.

I have no clue.
Depends on what it is.

I am super awkward and just kind of hope I am going with the flow. 90% of the time I just end up making the other person laugh because I am awkward.

 

[VinsCool]

I take it and thank the person in return.

Personally, I hardly ever get compliments, but will often give ones. The people that know me and I know them, who are also the ones I care enough about to give compliments, know that I hate dishonesty, so they will only give me extremely rare ones that I know are true and I will do the same in return, complimenting back, although they deserve heaps more Seriously, I'm a terrible person, I'll hardly get a compliment once a month!

when its a hot woman : when i wake up in her bed... the breakfast better be ready.

I don't. I've grown up with a sarcastic family, and dealt with generic assholes my whole life. It's hard to distinguish genuine respect from sarcastic douchery.

...or it may be just boot licking before asking for some favor. That kind of flattery makes me so uncomfortable.

No freshly ground pepper, though?

How to take a compliment: Appreciatively, graciously, humbly. Pay no mind to the "social robot" nonsense, just chill out and go with your gut.

I tend to associate it with douchery. It's fake and all around annoying.

And there's always a thot that gives you a compliment to then later say: "OMG you actually believed that I would give you a compliment? You're pathetic". Those people are the absolute worst.

I just flirt back. "how you doin'". It either makes them stop or they laugh. Or I get a date. Either way it's win-win. Their intent is usually shown in their response to the flirt. If they're weirded out, just shrug it off and laugh.

Everyone here is perfect

 

[CallmeBerto]

I just smile and ask them if they are falling for me. Unless it is a family member then I just say thank you.

TOO MUCH SALT is not very healthy for daily diet, bro

 

[Chary]

"Awww, thank you! You're so nice"

Never compliment a person right back after they compliment you, though. It feels quite fake. Remember what they've said, though, and next time you see them, think of something to compliment them on.

Sums about all of it, I take with a grain of salt, and basically ignore it, Because really only one of 1000 are really true.
