  • Sometimes, yes. I didn't use to be comfortable with it at all, but I've come to appreciate it.
  • Really does depend on who its from.. If its from my mum or partner than yeah defo. But if its from a bunch of teens shouting out a car or by an old man thats staring at your breasts then NO! :)
  • It depends on who it's comming from, and about what. But in general, I'd say yes, I'm comforable with that
  • it depends...but not usually...lol i'm not fond of getting compliments
  • Actually, no
  • I'm a sucker for compliments.
  • Occasionally, but normally, I just get an "aw shucks" type feeling.
  • Comfortable...no. But that doesn't mean that I don't like it anyway. Keep it coming!
  • Yes I am a big ham and my head swells and no one can talk to me all day and I love it. LMAO
  • Not really, but its nice to here.:-)
  • before I saw a shrink, I was very uncomfortable, because I felt people were lying to me, because I had very low self worth.
  • Honest edification that has been earned, YES ... brown-nosing bullshTT compliments, NO.
  • Ummm.... try me! :-)
  • No not at all... I get really embarassed and sometimes try to avoid the person afterwards (yeah im weird I know ) :)
  • Yes I am. When I was younger I didn't know how to handle it. But I realized that people are giving you a kind gift..they are indicating appreciation of something about you that pleases them..so if you sluff it off or act uncomfortable, you will make them uncomfortable. The best thing is to say "thank you very much..I appreciate that" or "thank you very much..how kind you are". You receive their gift with grace and make them feel good. Why would you want to make anyone feel bad? :)
  • Sure! I welcome them.
  • I was terrible at accepting compliments when I was younger. I'm getting better, though, but when I was a kid I would even get angry if people complimented me too much :S. There are some compliments I just refuse to believe are true.. Hm, I didn't quite answer the question fully. I'm doing my best to accept them, but I'm not completely comfortable with it, especially when people compliment me on stuff like my looks :S
  • Yeah, I love being complimented. But my ex-girlfriend once told me that she hates compliments. I was like what?? Who hates compliments??? But I guess now I understand that they make some people uncomfortable.
  • Oh, that's a hard one. I guess if I worked hard and feel great satisfaction with something I've had a hand in, then it's easier to accept. But if it comes out of the blue, I'm still so surprised and embarrassed sometimes, thinking "me????" "really???" . But I've worked on it and I'm better than I used to be. Sometimes I surprise myself by just saying honestly, thank you!!!! As I got older I realized that being shocked by a compliment is almost like taking the gift of it away from the person, you sap their joy in giving you a compliment. And I'd never mean to do that, ever. So I let people say nice things if they feel them and accept them. But once in awhile, someone will slip past me and I'll be wide-eyed and marvel that they thought a nice things about me LOL!!!
  • Not entirely. I mean, I appreciate it, but I don't ever know how to respond. I end up clumsily, and awkwardly saying "thank you" a few times, averting my eyes, and then changing the topic. But if I don't get any compliments, I feel like maybe I did something wrong... so, well, it sucks for me! lol
  • Yes, I appreciate being complimented. I wish I were better at giving compliments.
  • i am... thank you sir☺
  • As long as it's not one of those creepy situations :) Most of the time I am. Sometimes I just fumble all over myself because I'm not quite sure what to say though. That is rare thankfully.
  • Sometimes compliments can be almost TOO flattering. I just nod and say, "Thanks."
  • yes .. i love to be completed...
  • I didnt used to be but im getting better at accepting them.:-)+
  • I never have been. Sometimes I wonder if it is sincere.
  • No, it makes me want to take off my pants.
  • Yes. and i love giving compliments too. the only times I am not so sure is when people you dont know give you compliments about the way you look... that creeps me out a little bit.
  • If I feel that the compliment is genuine, I am very comfortable with being complimented. Some may not feel comfortable because it may make them feel like they are not in control. This is just a thought. This is a great question!
  • yes - providing im not feeling patronised, i think i can tell the difference
  • I'm horrible at taking compliments
  • I really love being complimemted especially if I was having a bad day that day or it was something that I was insecure about. I lovvee it when poeople tell me I look good for my age and for having two kids under 4 years old. I am married but I still enjoy when men espeically older men, married ones especially compliment me. I am modest though, i do not brag or show off and unless someone tells me other wise , i assume they dont find me attractive. DOes this answer the Rickster's question??
  • Of course. I don't understand people that can't take it. Especially women, they act like men that approach them and say something nice are rapists or something.
  • Way back when, i had a hard time accepting a compliment. I didnt realize it until enough people brought it to my attention. When I was complimented, I would always say something back like, Oh gosh- no its just the shirt, or something like that. I thought if I took the comp. i would seem like i was implying that i already knew i looked good etc. But after so many people said, just say thank you, blah, blah, blah, I finally realized that it was good to accept them with an appreciated Thanks You!!
  • that depends on WHAT they are complimenting me on, and WHO they are.
