Reaction help: I dont know how to reply to compliments - Help.com

If you don’t know what to reply, don’t reply
just smile and nod (worked wonders for me)

How about simple “thank you?”

but if u say it in certain ways it either sounds tht u r arrogant, don’t care or affended or unhappy….

Thank you with a smile!

I’ll show you. Tell me I look very hot for little chihuahua in a cute outfit and I make you melt. Go ahead.

I just smile and look them in the eye and say thank you.

It means so much more when you look them in the eye when saying thank you.

If they compliment on your clothes maybe tell them where you bought it from.

wow! littlenick!
you look very handsome today! what a brilliant outfit! have you been working out?

Thank very much. I feel great! And yes, I have been working out! :).

See how I did that?

Haha I know what you mean, I get like that sometimes too, like when someone’s like, you’re so stunning it’s like…hm.
It’s probably best if you just say thank you and give them a smile.

My personal opinion is that you change your approach altogether… from now on whenever someone compliments you, you should reply with “I look better naked than with clothes on” and rip your shirt open!!!

yeah I should try tht cause i’m shy i usually look away in shyness when people compliment me…. but then if u smile wouldnt tht be jst like saying ‘yeah I know’?
but i would rather not say where i got my clothes cause then people will definitely either start hanging around with me only for one reason or they would think i’m really arrogant and would spread rumors about me….

yeah thts a gd point acctually… yeah i got it I should say stuff like yeah i really like tht top too or i m feeling great but what about when they comment on my legs (ok i’ll go nto the details since i’m writing this as an anon) like today i was wearing really short shorts and they told me how stunning my legs are and my figure but my legs had some hair on them but not much and i really never work out or eat anything healthy…

and whats wrong about that?
know your qualities, be proud of them, don’t brag though.
if your playing modest when being complimented it can be interpreted as arrogance, especially if you do that often. (sounds weird, i know, but its true)

I still think you should stick with the “I look better naked” line…
