Is it normal to feel anxious when someone compliments / admires you?

[Rockstarrrrr]

When you thought it's gonna feel nice but that's how it actually feels lol...

[Guy13]

No it is not normal to feel anxious when another compliments you. What that says is that you do not feel as though you deserve it, therefore, people start treating badly. It is also a sign of insecurity and your reaction will make it so no one applauds your work or whatever again. Try to get that straight please.

It is normal if you're unsure how to respond to it.

I think it's fine if a shy person just smiles or even looks away, not uncommon.

The compliment was said, you now know that they respect you.

Maybe not anxious. But embarrassed because they're putting you on the spot.

[NathanDavis]

not the norm, no... but it is common, yes

some people can be that shy or introverted, even as adults

[Fuentes]

For those who are shy but I am not shy anymore when i was younger i was little. so for me I wouldn't be anxious about it. It's still normal tho

[NostalgiaSenpi]

I don't get compliments in real life, and thus usually feel awkward.

[In_Trance]

Depends who's doing it.

Your brother's topless girlfriend or Grandma?

It's normal if you're not used to it

[Wise4myage]
