Depending on what mood i’m in, i generally accept compliments happily.
How to learn how to accept compliments
It made me
more confident 
"I Feel More confident and peopple like me better"
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

Someone commented on how nice i look today, and I just smiled and said “thankyou!”. It really made my day. And I didn’t even think “Now what’s their motive?”
It feels good when someone compliments

I just never know what to say back.
I’ve started to accept compliements in my mind, like when someone writes something nice about me, i take it on board, and i feel good, but when someone says it to me face to face, i don’t know what I’m gonna do. I just feel like “thankyou” won’t suffice

I’d really like to be able to do this. Whenever someone compliments me, I think about what their motive is. Sounds paranoid, i know, but i honestly don’t see why someone would compliment me on how I look or whatever.
I accept compliments on my work and things like that in my head, but I don’t really know what to say back to people.

It’s one thing when a random person says ‘i like your shirt,’ but I have trouble knowing what to say when someone gives a real compliment. I guess just ‘thanks,’ as the authors of the other comments suggested. easier wrote than said…

I am just saying “thank you” no matter what my urge is to say “oh no stop … I am not…. you are too kind.. blah blah blah” I am just going to say thank you and then deal with believing it later.

It’s simple, really. When someone complements you, just smile say “thank you.” Don’t protest, or point out your faults – just say “thank you.” :-)

I need to just say thank you and not feel that unconfortable urge to squint my nose up and make a joke because i feel unworthy of the compliment.
