Compliments. I dont take them well at all.

What I mean is if someone compliments me on something (e.g. "f00k you look good enough to eat today" or "I wish I was as talented/funny/hung as you") I tend to put myself down rather than saying "why yes, I am. And you are very observant today".

Do you take compliments well? Do you get compliments? Do you give compliments?

Josie_dub · 23-01-2009 4:46pm

I find a simple thank you does the job, although when its other girls complimenting you never know if its just a trick to see how conceited you are, can't win!

Zangetsu · 23-01-2009 4:47pm

I tend to ball up if ya know what I mean... Its strange...

Kiera · 23-01-2009 4:48pm

I dont take them well at all. I usually just change the subject. I'm well able to give them but cant take them for some reason.

MagicMarker · 23-01-2009 4:48pm

I usually concur.

Thanks. I'm not kissing you again though

Wacko · 23-01-2009 4:50pm

I just get embarrassed if anyone compliments me about anything and go all sheepish and that, not sure why though.

Turd Ferguson · 23-01-2009 4:50pm

I always get compliments because I am great. I'm in the process of ordering a crown so I can wear it around so everyone knows how great I am.

If I was a sweet I would be Ferrero Roché as everybody loves Ferrero Roché because its the best chocolate in the world and I am the best guy in the world.
Johnny Depp rings me regularly and asks me for fashion tips.
Jimmy Hendrix visited me from beyond the grave and told me I was 10 times the guitar player he is.
I am faster than Superman.
I am stronger than the Hulk.
I have a bigger penis than Ron Jeremy.
I am smarter than Steven Hawkins.
I am more awesome than Chuck Norris.
I can say CandleJack without being kidnapped.

To answer your question, yes I am very modest.

schween · 23-01-2009 4:50pm

I get very uncomfortable when complimented on something...I've started to say thanks and hide the discomfort though because people thought I was just being rude when they complimented me, which wasn't the case.

Slidey · 23-01-2009 4:50pm

Why I get complimented all the time on my stunning good looks, witty sense of humour and my ability to always be modest.

You get used to it after a bit...

I used to be bad at accepting them, but now I just say ''Thank You'', even if I know they're wrong.

seanybiker · 23-01-2009 4:53pm

i normally just tell the other person to shut up and fook off. Then ask em what their looking for

Vain · 23-01-2009 4:53pm

I love compliments, maybe thats why my user name is vain:P

Naos · 23-01-2009 4:54pm

I used to think they were lying, for example if someone was to say "Nice t-shirt", I'd be thinking or I'd say "What's wrong with it?".

I'm since coming around to the fact that there's no point thinking liking that and am thus learning to accept them whenever they come my way

themadchef · 23-01-2009 4:55pm

Strange isint it. Some one compliments you and you find it difficult to reply.

Yet if someone were to say "i wouldint ride ya into battle" you couldint catch your breath fast enough to respond.

Does, "You're a useless waster who does nothing around the house.", count as a compliment?

If so, I don't take them well, either.

Aye. i'm the same. i never really copped how bad i was until someone pointed it out to me. i say thanks but i get embarrassed. i wore a nice jumper into work the other day and a girl in here kept going on about it but i everythime she started saying it was gorgeous and i looked well i kept trying to change the subject. i don't like it at all. but at the same time, in other situations, i dont mind attention at all. infact i'm a bit of an attention lover:o, but for some reason compliments just embarrass me.

:o

You're a ride!
