Taking compliments. Did you ever tell someone he is out of line to compliment you, that you are not the greatest, not any different than anyone else, not being great, not good, not great, not even fine?
Not Tony the Tiger, not Wonder woman, not Superman, nor Batman, that you are human and make mistakes. Did somewhere along the line someone tell you that you are arrogant because you accepted a compliment and therefore you are not deserving of praise. Did all you do was be happy with yourself, your achievements, and not sure if showing happiness about yourself is having a lack of humility. Does putting yourself down, not to accept praise, is this a state of being that is healthy??
How many ways can we say "thank you"? If someone likes the blouse you are wearing, a simple invigorated "Thanks!" is all that is necessary. Yes, a big smile in addition to this "thanks!" Your sincerity will be in your tone of voice and her in hers.
If someone likes a blog article you have written and says so, of course, do not delete it, publish it. All these positive comments are coming from people's hearts, they care about you, indifference is the worst insult. If someone challenges you on an achievement you have accomplished, meet their words with your words, accept their well-meaning words even if they do not know how to word their opinions. Let them know that their compliments are appreciated.
How good you feel now, how good you both feel. Are you telling your doctor every time you get a pain and need his medical council? Had surgeries and never want another one?
Is there someone who tries to give you advice and you do not know if their words are advisable?
If they simply say "I like you" is this a compliment to be accepted? If you in return have told someone you liked them and this was not returned, yes, it can happen again and again; but don't give up!!! There will be someone who will meet your kind words with a heart felt "THANK YOU!"
