How to learn how to take a compliment
It made me
thankful 
"I always disagreed with people who complimented me but I finally forced myself to just thank people whether I agreed or not. "
How I did it: When customers complimented me I realized how rude it'd be
for me to disagree with their compliments or reject them so I began
just smiling and saying thank you. After doing that for a few months I
truly began accepting them and feeling sincerely grateful.
Lessons & tips: Having a job where I constantly had to interact with people really
helped me because it gave me many opportunities to practice reaching my goal.

The summer taught me how.

I spent all summer at a resort and met many new faces who were keen on complimenting me and all of a sudden it was really easy to say thank you without feeling awkward at all! I think the few drinks helped at first, but soon after even when sober it was just as easy. :)

I sang at my church for the first time today. After the service, everyone came up and told me how well I did. I was SO awkward. Is it that I don’t think I am deserving of compliments or is it just an over modest thing? I don’t know yet, but I am going to get to the bottom of this social malady and learn how to buck up and take a compliment gracefully!

I guess I suddenly got used to it, and now saying thanks, and just being gratefull for the compliment has come more natural and I understand it now. So yeah. I’ve learned
How to react?

Even receiving a compliment from people I consider to be very good friends leaves me in a stupor. Last week my friend tells me “WOW NICE THREADS!!” then I just become silent and can only manage a delayed “uhh.. thanks.. I suppose..” I always sound sarcastic even when I don’t intend to. I need to work on just saying thanks without hesitation , without sounding sacastic or stupid. .. Am I supposed to then go into about what theyre complimenting me on? or quickly say thanks and move on ?

Yesterday I got compliment after compliment from people I work with. It was hard to just say ‘thank you’ instead of talking myself down like I am used to do.

Based on some recent conversations I’ve decided that I don’t need to learn how to take a complement. I have improved a little bit (I don’t sound rude when shruging it off) but I don’t want to be that well adjusted person that’s great at everything. I have faults and it’s ok.
yay i did it.
