How often do you get compliments? How do you react if you get one?

[Pinay_ako]

I say thank you nicely

[Leapfrog00]

I get a lot of compliments on my eyes. My eyes change different shades of blue. It sometimes freaks me out when I'm looking in the mirror, lol because they stand out, especially with certain times of lighting. Sometimes people tell me they're pretty or gorgeous, or they like blue eyes and they've never seen eyes like mine. I don't think they're pretty or gorgeous. I used to wish I had brown eyes, because they would make me look more manly.

Honestly, I blushed the last time this one girl complimented me. That's what I remember of my reaction, lol

[shades777]

Currently none haha, but when I was fit hunk, I always get them from older women and women that know I wasn't interested in them and married women.

[Boomchakalaca]

Every now and then, especially when I noticeably put effort into my looks, makeup, accessories, outfit, etc. i rarely get complimented when i dont wear makeup 😂. Most of my compliments are from my outfit, “oh i love ur outfit” i remembered in high school, i got a lot of compliments from these knee high high boots id wear (nothing dramatic) even from a teacher. I felt popular 😂 a little ray of popularity.

[LocoLuna]

When I get compliments, I find it hard to accept. Do so from past trauma

[Pinay_ako]

How come?

[melanieeeB]

Often and I just say thank you or add a how sweet to it

[melanieeeB]

It used to be more tho so maybe I change the often to pretty occasionally haha

I do not get compliments. I used to when I wasn’t in a relationship. The compliments used to come thick and fast. I did awkwardly thank people but inside I was intrusively thinking about why they would want to compliment me. I was bought up a compliment from the opposite sex was a sign of interest, and from a female I never trusted them.
In a relationship it’s a different kind of compliment type - it seemed to be compliments on what have cooked/cleaned or the effort I put into a project not about me. I felt like a wall flower most of the time.

At home: I compliment my husband every day. And, he reciprocates every day as well. I always appreciate his compliments.

At work: For an outstanding job well done, I'd give a compliment to an employee but that doesn't happen often. Almost always, I'd get compliments for my appearance from employees, clients/customers & strangers whenever I pop in my various offices which I don't do daily. I usually express gratitude to them as well.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Often, I say thank you and smile.

When I was 14 my school teacher had a crush on me, he often complimented me, one of my classmates asked me surprised “How is that you are so confident? Everytime someone compliments you you just smile confidently and say thank you. I can’t help but blush. How can I be so confident as you?”

So, I guess that’s it. Most compliments have already been told to me, so I am going to say thank you and smile.

[Pinay_ako]

Your school teacher had a crush on you at 14? How did the school react to that?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

It was platonic… And thankfully he has never done anything inappropriate.

[Pinay_ako]

Yea puppy love or crush is normal. Good thing it didn’t lead to anything else.

[mandyfire98]

I get them fairly often I'd say. I just normally smile and say thank you so much. I have this horrible habit though of if I'm caught off guard like that I have a tick where I'll instinctually just wink. I also do it when I've been drinking. Which can be dangerous in certain aspects lol. Like I'm not trying to send signals, I'm just defective.

[Beatrix7]

i get tuns of comliments mostly for my smile haur and kindness and heart of gold tes we all have some faults even i do but i help people more than myself with not much help in return but yeah it feels nice to be complimented i also get compliments for a good few other thingdms and it does feel nice to get them

[Red-Blaze]

All the time in the pysical world, online only when I hint to anything of my pysical form
I get some at work as well, and honeatly kind of wiah it stop becouse for each one I get my brain just go"There just trying to be nice/get in your skirt"

I mostly just say thank you, and return the complimate if I wanted to give one, over all I love to give them if I see anything creative

[arodriguez664]

I get compliments pretty frequently. I usually smile and say thank you. I compliment them back if I can. Took me many years of therapy to learn how to just go with it when I get a compliment. My first reaction always used to be questioning the compliment. My self worth was in the toilet during those days. Now I've accepted that I'm awesome 😁

[TrueConfection]

I think I finally learned how to accept a compliment when I was 45. I am now able to give a sincere thank you and smile without any awkwardness and it's such a blessing because the person giving the compliment visibly perks up and I am able see they feel good about being kind.

[exitseven]

I get compliments sometimes at work and my wife often says kind things about me.

[Pinay_ako]

🥰 that’s sweet

[dragoblack]

*sigh*... next to none... like, my outfits get more compliments than my physical body... only complements i ever get are ones my hair and nails... not that i'm sexy, cute, hunky, attractive... just envy-complements and "i like your outfit". Honestly it is to the point any genuine compliment to my overall self is suspicious, especially online... mainly because I'm used to only scammers and OF solicitors complementing me

[shi-shi]

I like your hair and you have nice eyes ✌️

[WanderingLoveWizard]

My girlfriend says "you're amazing" all the time. I don't even know what that means, but I think she's pumping sunshine up my arse
It's not even a compliment really, it's some general make you feel good bullshit

[OfMiceandMen]

It happens once in awhile. Got one tonight from a guy at the restaurant. We were having dinner at the bar and he said I look young for my age.

[AmyHew1tt]

Not often, unless it's from family, lol. But the odd time I do, I usually get the knee-jerk urge to say 'no.'

Trying to just say thank you even if it doesn't feel sincere.

[DizzyDesii]

Maybe weekly and no i dont know how to accept them. I kinda brush it off like

[ChiTown33]

I'm not sure. Is it still a compliment if they have an alterior motive for saying it?😂

I politely say, "thank you". Even if it wasn't sincere it's still the polite thing to do.

[andreasderjuengere]

When -seldom enough - I receive a compliment, then I play it down with humour...

such as: ''you are perfectly right'' (with a cheeky smirk, of course)

[Soxee]

I get compliments from time to time and I always smile and say thank you. I've never outgrown the blush, though. Lol

[Sour-rose]

Every month. Every month, man or woman, i get a compliment. I am truly a lady with many great features.

[Sour-rose]

Oh, what do I do if I get one? Well, just a simple thank you is what i do on the outside. But on the inside, i'm spazzing out like a dog who hasn't seen their owner in 3 years.

[kellytheman]

I like certain compliments. The ones I do like is I am cute or charming and I say thank you and gives me confident boost. If girl says that I might be confident enough to flirt with her and hook up with her.
