How I did it: well when people would compliment me, say they said "Your hair looks pretty Tila" i'd say something like "no it doesn't" or "yeah right". then i thought about it and i realized that whenever you reject a compliment like that your putting that person in an awkward position. i mean what would you say after that if you were them?
im sure they dont want to argue with me over weather or not my hairs pretty. so i started accepting it. id say "Thank you" and flash a smile. im actually a really confident happy person now. nothing like i used to be. i have lots of friends and i love getting compliments now. its definately a good goal to accomplish

Lessons & tips: people like people who are confident
no one wants to be put in that awkward position of having their compliments rejected
