If someone compliments you, are you likely to respond or walk away? (Page 2)

[Tomisworthless]

Lol I’m not a guy who receives compliments, I’m much more likely to receive criticism and judgment from others. People tend to put me down a lot which is why my self esteem and confidence are low, it would be easy to be confident if people like you, compliment you and want to be around you

[kappasan]

Umm. If someone says "thank you", I'll respond "you're welcome".

Is this supposed to be a "compliment relating to anything towards a potential relationship" or something? I've never heard something like that... maybe... I don't know.

[7vices]

You don't know me, but if you did you'd know that people complementing me is super suspicous. So I keep my head down and get out of there as quick as I can. Which I never do because noone compliments me.

[LittleSally]

You mean a random stranger or a person we know?

In any case I'd at least say thank you - if the compliment was polite.

If it was rudely said and came from a stranger, I'd ignore.

[chloeaimeejensen]

Oh I’m a megaflirt! If someone tried to woo me in the street, I’d carry on walking like I was ignoring them but at the last minute, look back and seductively wink at them, slowly lick my lips and blow them a kiss before continuing to walk.

[sidhagain]

Should that be considered an invite

Lol

[ChooChooHaha]

Depends on scenario. Someone I have rapport with/ seems ok, I'll probably respond.

Some creeper/rando that I wouldn't look 2x at: I'm just rolling on with my day. Why: they take a mile if you give an inch. So I act like they don't exist.

[MystiKaL]

I'd say, "wow, thank you for the compliment... but are you taking the piss?". Because I really am an unattractive guy and I am very unlikely to get a compliment.

[ShadezMcgee]

I would brush it off with a wave of the hand or a quick thanks. I have never taken compliments well or believed they were genuine, especially if they were from women.

[crossdressingrihno]

One of the reasons I hate socializing is because compliments. Its much the same feeling as getting a shirt that’s too small for your birthday and for a band you don’t like.

[TenderFantasy]

Respond of course. It would be RUDE not to say something! It's like you are ENTITLED to that compliment? ! Nope!

[DermalPunch]

I would say thank you and smile. Who would walk away? If they are "creepy" you just keep it moving. Why are basic social mores becoming so difficult for people?

[Vikkrram]

Guys generally don't take the compliments seriously they would think that either someone is joking or making them fools. Haha

[Singing_Hollow]

Ill say thank you. There is a difference between a complement and being a perv. Just need to be respectful to one another

[tfan1]

I would thank them but then excuse myself to get away from them because I’m happily married 👍🙂. If they continued I would show them my wedding ring and say thanks but I’m taken. Then immediately try to get away from them.

[Rockstarrrrr]

Well , it depends.. sometimes I'm caught off guard and I have like 2 seconds to think of something to say so I end up being really awkward about it lol... other than that I show my appreciation in some way...

[Kaneki05]

Well time to think about been married to her. Before saying something to pretend I am not obsessed with them now.

[Rei13]

I usually try to find something I like about them and compliment them back. Got to keep the positive energy moving

[chrissykerdock]

if i'm wearing a short skirt i'll get whistles guys may say nice... but i'll keep walking generally... at the most i'll say is thank you.

People have trouble accepting compliments for a number of reasons. Sometimes, it's tied to social anxiety. It can also be caused by feelings of low self-esteem, or by going through life without experiencing positive feelings of gratitude.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I usually respond, as walking away would be rude. A simple "Thank you" is all that is needed.
