How to take compliments
Simply say, " thank you.
" don't overthink it or read into anyone's comment. If someone pays you a compliment, the easiest response is just to say " thank you.
" For example, if someone compliments your outfit (yet you think you look sloppy), simply say, " thank you. " don't look for " hidden meanings " or make your own interpretations of the compliment to diminish it.
