Can You Get Through This Post Without Getting All Weird About It?
Compliments are hard! If you say something nice to me I'm probably gonna freak out internally and then mumble something incoherent. I might run away. But thank you for saying that, somewhere deep inside I am appreciative of your gesture even though it's totally not true and you're crazy. Who me?
I don't totally know how to take a compliment but I mean, I will try. I appreciate you saying that nice thing to me and I'm going to try to stay cool when you do. I don't think you're wrong, I'm just not always ready for praise.
I can take a compliment, and appreciate the sentiment. I'm not going to lose my shit when you say something nice. I'm going to take it in stride, respond politely, and keep the conversation moving. Thanks for noticing a thing about me and pointing it out. You also have positive qualities that I notice and appreciate.
