How easily do you accept a compliment?

[Passing_by]

I was never complimented so much in my life as I didn't used to go out much and was very introverted. After lock down when my uni reopened, I got quite extroverted and confident but I am still unable to take overwhelming amounts of compliments. Most of the times I say 'thank you' and move along but other times, I'm not sure if they're just joking so I just nod my head and smile. Don't want to come off as arrogant or too aloof 😂, got any tips?

I never get compliments, to begin with. I'm pretty sure I couldn't take one well. Especially if I feel like they're outright lying.

Her: "But you're tall though!"
Me: How TF is 180 cm tall? There are women out there bigger than that! WTF are you on?"
Then I'd just get pissed about the perceived sarcasm/backhanded compliment from them.

So... No. I probably can't take a compliment well at all.

I don't want to create much of a conflict because it may make you come off as insecure. That being said, I also feel that the compliment giver isn't always genuine. Just wanted to know how i should react in the doubt as well.

I don’t know how to receive compliments 😅 When someone compliments me, I just awkwardly smile and say thank you before changing the topic 🙃😂

May I know how social you're?

I'm a very shy person so it really depends on the situation and the people I'm around.

I smile or maybe laugh a little and say thank you and then compliment them too... it's easy to move on this way
