How do you take a compliment?

[BlueFox gui]

idk i don't recieve compliments, maybe "thank you"?

Usually, I say, “thank you” or “I’m trying”. No matter, I always feel weird.

I just thank people who compliment somebody because maybe to the other they just see it as a motivation.

if its a non hot woman i say : "fuck off loser"

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

Very uncomfortably.

If I recieve compliments they are mostly meant sarcasticly. So I honestly never really take them seriously. I just shrug them off with a simple thanks

 

[Nick1983]

I usually just shrug them off or play them down.
I’m usually the guy dishing out the compliments lol

I guess I just say thanks? I mean, it's kind of the universal way to answer a compliment.

The problem for me is knowing what is a 100% honest genuine compliment. Since I never know that and from past experience, I cannot determine when or if that is ever the case and when I receive them, I naturally accept them as not true, sarcasm, or just pity which all sound negative. But when you are me who is in my situation, you'll understand what I am saying better. Don't be me kids, be better than me. I don't want anyone to grow up not trusting people or being sad, thinking they are always inconvenience others and have no one to talk to cause you can't be have in social society.

I generally don't acknowledge it. I mean I don't completely ignore the person but I don't make a big deal a big deal about being complimented. I don't really get what the big deal about getting compliments or giving them is (I mean I understand why you'd compliment or want compliments from your significant other, but I don't see the big deal about other people). If it's something that makes me happy then I might smile a bit, but most of the time compliments are inconsequential and probably not very sincere or rather not very accurate or truthful. If someone tells you they think you're nice or something along those lines it might not actually be because you're really nice. I'm not saying they have some ulterior motive. People just seem to think anybody who doesn't treat people like crap are nice.

I think it's okay to shrug them off to be honest. Complimenting someone back seems totally fake, and thanking somebody for every compliment seems a little strange to me. I get that thanking someone is a sign of appreciation, but I think a casual compliment or even comment isn't something to be super appreciative of.
