is anyone else bad with compliments

[Sub-Zero]

im coming to realize that i suck at recieving compliments...its much worse than not knowing what to say back, cause im actually really clever, at times, but i just hate being complimented to the point where it annoys me and usually makes me say something rude


anyone else have this problem, and how can i use it to my advantage in the world of dating?

 

[CipherLock]

nope, just you.

 

[Y_lifter]

I love compliments... Enjoy them while they last.

Soon you will be a grumpy old fucker that hates everything and everyone...

Why do you feel you are obligated to respond with anything other than a smile
or a simle "thank you" ?

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

What compliment was given?

cause if its in the middle of a conversation you have to acknowledge it before u continue talking otherwise u appear to be an asshole, which is why i get annoyed cause then i have to stop waht im saying and say soemthing like "i know that" before i can continue.


and its not a particular thing, just in general

 

[jerkbox]

just say thank you....how hard is that?

 

[The Shadow]

well....it can be more difficult than you can imagine, given certain childhoods

 

[Evil_Frisky]

just say thank you....how hard is that?

ditto...

I normally blush when complimented.. esp if its by a stranger. If its a close friend or family member... Its easier.

thats kinda cornyish....i say thank you for presents, and thank you when you pass me the salt...

 

[Evil_Frisky]

So how do you respond... with an "I know" ?? IMO that is corny.

 

[marshallmadman]

It embarrasses me, and I don't know what to say. I've gone to just a simple "thank you".

i already admitted that i usually am rude after cause i get annoyed

 

[GoldenDelicious]

just say "yeah, i know" with a big smile, smooth your hair back with your left hand and buff the nails on your right hand on your shirt, itll charm the pants off everyone

 

[UA_Iron]

uh people, stop taking Sublime seriously

or start commenting on his masturbation skills - he got a lot of them.

 

[Evil_Frisky]

So what are you getting complimented on that annoys you? I just don't get the annoyed part.. not for a compliment anyway.

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

Then tell them to fuck off. It'll never happen again...solved.

Your such a charmer...

cause i already know my good qualities, and it annoys me to have to acknowledge and "appreciate" waht i already know

 

[TC2]

word

 

[Evil_Frisky]

cause i already know my good qualities, and it annoys me to have to acknowledge and "appreciate" waht i already know

Then say nothing at all... I am sure the person complimenting you doesn't suspect you are getting annoyed.. or else they wouldn't compliment you in the first place.

Besides you aren't acknowledging the fact that you know you have these good qualities.. you are acknowledging the fact that someone else reconizes them...

 

[GoldenDelicious]

Your such a charmer...

yeah, i know

*smoothes hair back*
*buffs nails on shirt*

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

Everytime someone gives you a compliment, pull out a harmonica and start hopping around them in circles, playing "Dixie Land"...

I know that accepting the gift honors the giver.. but it people become effusive, like about a meal i cooked or there about, i cringe.. inwardly.

I am just bad at it, not rude, or abrupt, i just have some things from my past that prevent accepting that I am worth the compliments.

(i DO say 'thank you', then run for cover.)


Working on it, but it aint easy.

 

[Deterass]

5 captain morgan and diet dr peppers at the bar and i start passing out compliments like anal lube at a gay Gambino party.

 

[EnderJE]

I have a hard time giving compliments...you fucking jerk off...I hope you die.

i guess this is what i mean

 

[evansteve]

yeah, why is accepting compliments so hard?

giving them can be really hard too.

what has happened to this world?

 

[Mr. dB]

Yes. I cannot accept a compliment or flattery without downplaying or outright denying it. "Thanks, but..."
