How do you respond to compliments? - Eran - Feb 5, 2022

Do you give them a simple thank you, do you disagree with them, do you just smile? I know some people who aren't comfortable with responding to compliments so they just act awkward and change the subject. What about you?

That's funny I was just talking about this earlier. Usually I do a awkward laugh and just say thanks.

I am not comfortable with compliments, although I seem to get them often enough I just find it awkward lol
Maybe it depends on my feelings towards whoever is giving the compliment.


RE: How do you respond to compliments? - MavenGradle - Feb 5, 2022

Broad question. I guess it depends on the person and the underlying motives (if applicable) and the compliment itself and the situation.

just show a simple smile and say thanks


RE: How do you respond to compliments? - Luffy-_- - Feb 5, 2022

Probably say thank you, the smile depends of the person :)

I smile and casually say, "Aww, well thank you."

If it’s online, I usually respond with a thank you or if it’s over the top I don’t even respond. People comment on my FB pictures and say some foul stuff, I’ll just like it and not comment back. Simply for the fact I don’t want to be completely rude.

In person, oh god I am so uncomfortable and don’t know how to receive them. I think with losing weight I’ll become more comfortable (possibly). Someone complimented me last week in person and I just said “shut up.” Hahaha

The reason I'm not comfortable with compliments is because I don't receive them that often, so when I do it feels a bit sus to me lol.

Yeah, there can definitely be something evil underneath the compliment depending on the person giving it.

Keep smiling and keep it simple :)

You don't automatically smile when you receive a compliment? I do, but it's an awkward one :P

Keeping it casual ;)

Yeah comments under pictures are kinda giving me the 2012 vibes where a girl would get the same comment from 20 different friends :P
You're on a weight loss journey? It's nice when you work hard on your body and someone compliments you right??

I barely ever receive them too. I'm currently 3 months into bulking and instead of getting compliments on getting bigger arms, all I'm getting is people saying I got fat smh

Thanks bro ✌

It never gets to me though, I keep grinding no matter what. Ofcourse a compliment is always welcomed, but definitely not crucial. Les get ittt😁

It’s the guys that are weird. They girls for sure comment same thing on everyone’s pics. One dude  recently wrote something like “I’d let you piss on me, just let me know” along those lines. My mom commented on it, funny but embarrassing lol. I suspect the person was trying to be funny but I was like brooooooooo that’s not it.

Yeah, it’s new but on the way. It totally is, makes it worth it. I’ve lost weight before and those compliments I would bask in— awkwardly of course.
