Are you good at accepting compliments?

Posted on Jun 27th, 2009 by Shuya : Individual Shuya
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 27, 2009:

Oh, am I terrible!  I often get flustered or self-conscious...sometimes I deny compliments, or express my disagreement while thanking them at the same time.  ^^;  I fear I may sometimes come off as ungrateful, but really I just feel that I didn't really earn the praise.  =)  Then at other times, perhaps if I am complimented on something I worked hard to achieve or make or do, I tend to do better at politely thanking the person for their kindness, accepting it subtly and modestly (except maybe for my closest of friends, two whom I may teasingly claim didn't say nice enough things for all the hard work I put in...but when they hide their smiles behind their hands and apologize, starting to find more compliments, I cut them off, flustered, and insist I was just kidding!  =P  Usually they laugh at me then...they just know me too well!)
