    If it's a compliment worth receiving, I would much rather receive it in private.

    I think I prefer it in private.

    The thing with public compliments is that a lot of times, when you're being complimented, other people... are not. =/ And that makes me uncomfortable if you're in a group and you're singled out for something when others are not.

    I prefer it written, laminated and hanged up on my wall so everyone can see it.

    I prefer it privately because it feels more personal and real.

    I think compliments are highly personal comments that work best with good friends who are alone. I don't think compliments are quite as sincere and personal when they're said in front of a big group of people.

    When I do something worthy of compliment, I want the entire world to know.

    You really ought to have added in a "Have it broadcasted over the airwaves" option.

    I also enjoy complementing others in front of large groups.

    As awkward as it is fopr the receiver, it's always better, because when everybody knows, then it becomes more real and more believable. Plus, it puts me/whoever into a tough spot where certain standards must be met to maintain the reputation. That builds character, and keeps you from slacking off or going broke or whatever.

    I have extremely low self-esteem, so I can't take a compliment period.

    either way is fine, but i guess alone is more preferable...

    It depends on the compliment, but usually alone I guess.
