I sometimes do get compliments, but they feel empty and forced by people. Most likely because people critisize me a lot. May be due to my own negative experiences with people. With work I get a lot of compliments because I;m one of the better workers in the company, But they also punish me for my good work by refusing PTO because they consider me indispensable in the workplace and cannot do without me at some busy times. Which kinda makes me annoyed. So at summer or Christmas moments (June - September & November - January) I'm almost unable to take any PTO, but others get allowed their PTO. Last time I had to mention "thinking about leaving the company when this is the way it works with people who work hard/efficient" to my manager to get my PTO for 1 day. Yes, 1 only asked 1 day off and they even refused that in the beginning.

I am a guy... Beside compliments from my wife! I never get any compliments. ''Good job'' at work is another kind of compliment. Maybe once or twice a year when am at bars/restaurants some women might compliment my beard but that's all.
At my job? All the time! They appreciate my mind and performance, and my colleagues seem to really appreciate me! 😊
Now if you mean complimented on my looks? Rarely, if ever. But... at least I have my brains and personality so... yay for that?
When I got straight A's my dad complimented me once and when I got a B in math my dad criticized me 200 times a day. My mother on the hand has never complimented me even once in my entire life but criticizes me a hundred times a day.

I get compliments pretty often from strangers like once or twice a week
Depends on if I'm going out and interacting. Whenever I'm out and about and interacting with people, I get a lot of people letting me know they like something about me (not even looks most of the time).
However, since I've been cooped up inside as of late, I don't get many now :PWell I barely ever go out so not often, but I usually do when I talk to someone 1 on 1 for a while for the first time. It's usually something like "How are you so knowledgeable?" Or "You have really nice eyes."
Off and On and Lots Over Christmas with Christmas Pix. lolxxoo
I do get compliments from time to time but I just give a deaf ear to them. Anyways I totally dislike all types of compliments.
A few here and there, from time to time...
more so in personality, yes... sometimes on looks or "style" lol
Lately, a lot... I have a feeling everyone knows I'm "single" again, lol
Not vary often but I also gave up searching for them I do me and if u don't like it or how I look too bad for u I'm not going anywhere deal with it is my mind set and I never been happier
Online all the time but in RL never lol. I have had lots of men tell me I would look better with a smile tho lol
Women tell me I'm handsome pretty often.
It actually shocked me about how most men don't receive many, if any, compliments at all.
I get em often
some from friends n mostly from strangers
although sometimes its creepy when out of nowhere someone I dont know give me a compliment
I get compliments daily what about you and what do they normally compliment you on if you don't mind me asking
At bars, all the time😂 In everyday life, occasionally. Mainly from my work friends.
Occasionally. The last time I was told that I have nice hands. I guess that's a compliment.
It's been a long time since I received a compliment
Once in a blue moon. But when I get them, I appreciate it and blush.
I get a lot, but being from the UK I kind of hate it lol
Only told I could have done at least one step better. If I get a B on a test, "You could have got an A." If I get an A, "You could have got an A+."
A lot, especially at work. The girls always compliment me, sometimes sexually. Big turn off by the way. It's nice to be desired but modest girls are the hottest girls.
I don’t. But guys keep staring at me mostly everywhere I go
