I get awkward when someone compliments me and I don’t know what to say. Someone wished me a happy birthday once and I responded, “same to you.” Compliments are gifts. Receive gracefully and simply say, Thank you. Don’t say “I know.” Don’t be a twat. What do you know?
True humility is being able to accept criticisms as graciously as we accept compliments. Dear friend, talking to you is a breath of fresh air. There are only three things women need in life; food, water and compliments. She really doesn’t want your designer bags. Just make her feel like she’s the only woman in the world. Women hate competition.
Compliments are free. Please take a compliment. Take a compliment and pass it on to the right person. Or keep it for yourself if it fits. The best feeling is being complimented on something you’re not confident about. Unless you’re like me who immediately think it’s some major bullshit.
You are definitely not someone I pretend not to see in public. And no, it’s not the huge mole, have you seen the state of your body? If there’s one thing I want in this world, it’s to make you happy. And also super powers, but that apparently seems like it’s not happening.
You make me do things I don’t like to do. Like fall in love with you when I’m not ready to. The other day I fell down the stairs just looking at you. You’re slowly becoming a health hazard. I look at you and I start having palpitations. Do you mug people as a side hustle?
Do I like being complimented? Yes. Do I know how to respond to compliments? No. Does it make me wish people will never compliment me? Yes. Do I seek validation nonetheless? Yes. Do I ever truly believe the compliment? No. Do I still need compliments? Yes.
Dear Banter Republican, I’m so glad you get my sense of humor. Because I think I’m funny, but you make it official. Aside from food, you’re my favorite. Our time together is just like a nap, it just doesn’t last long enough. Also, you have a shocking attention span but I love you regardless. You want a compliment?
I love when you leave.

haha, words fail you?
Nothing better than a solid compliment😎
Haha, yeah 😅
The best compliments come after we have died, which saves us having to reply.
This is the most profound comment ❤️
I don’t know which is the best way to take compliments, but I shall say that we all should hold one another hands to take them higher, so we will also attend the highest peak with it😚🤗
haha, sounds like a great plan 😁
Please, don’t fall in love with me, I think you’re lovely, you have a cool sense of humour, you are like fluffy clouds, rays of sunshine until it rains.. 🙂
And you’re asking me not to fall in love with you? What am I supposed to do with my love? 🤔
You’re welcome
The Gottfried way to take them! “Well, thank you for finally noticing. Now add more!”
Haha, absolutely spot on 😆
Gottfried, you always find a way to stir my thinking in a positive direction. By the way, my compliment is in the mail.
Haha, I’m be sure to report it as spam 🤣
A brilliant delivery, as usual – wisdom and humor is a cool combo. It’s also true you can’t take a compliment from everyone. Bless you brother.
“Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”

Bless you too Lex 😅
“Do I like being complimented? Yes. Do I know how to respond to compliments? No. Does it make me wish people will never compliment me? Yes. Do I seek validation nonetheless? Yes. Do I ever truly believe the compliment? No. Do I still need compliments? Yes.”
Oh how true these words are! Every single character smacked me like a wet fish! I just realized it tonight – someone I know NEVER compliments me and I pointed it out and they were like “that’s not true!” Oh yeah? When, then? No answer. Fine. Someone else I know did compliment me and I immediately thought “you’re so full of sh*t!” There’s no winning lol
Haha, you’re right. You can’t win 🤣
I very rarely do, especially in this lol
Haha, with good reason 😆
