Thread: ...Accept a Compliment?

    I usually say thanks, or thank you. But often someone will give me several compliments in a row, an once I've said thanks so many times, it starts to sound weird, an I don't want to say thanks anymore because it sounds odd. But then I think if I don't thank them, it will seem rude an ungrateful. Oh the dilemma!

    I usually start going "yeah..." on those occasions.
    But when I think about it, saying "yeah..." forever might seem odd as well. :P

    I just say "yeah I know My shoes are that cool" and I smile it sounds like I am ego driven eh!
    Chuckles I guess I will help. But it will cost you your soul.

    What is compliment?

    (I'm never complemented on anything. On the rare occasion that I am, I just say "Thanks." ^_^)

    "Yeah I know"

    j\k. Usually "Thanks", followed by a return compliment

    It makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. I usually just stand there, red in the face, or I'll say "...thank you," very softly.

    Here's an example of a recent occurrence.

    Person: You did a good job tonight.
    Me: Okay.
    Person: Ugh, no you're supposed to say thankyou and then I'll be like your welcome.
    Me: *blink* *stare* ...Okay?
    Person: Ugh, no why do you have to make it weird?! You hate me! *Runs off*
    Me: ...?

    Or, I'll just say thanks too. The okay thing amuses me more.

    Usually I'll say one of the following.

    "Thanks"

    "Thanks a lot"

    "Thanks, I appreciate it"

    "That's nice of you, thanks"

    or something similar.

    I always accept compliments graciously, even if they're rather misplaced or odd, because I don't want to insult someone who's trying to do something nice for me.

    I usually ask "Why?" when I get complimented. Sometimes I'll reply with a "Thanks"

    If it's warranted, I nod and maybe smile slightly involuntarily. Then scream "BOOYAH!"
