How to learn to accept compliments?


You should not only give compliments, but also learn to receive them. Don't get down if someone compliments you or flatters you. Many people do not know how to accept a compliment and unintentionally offend the person who complimented them. Women in particular tend to underestimate themselves and a compliment can sometimes embarrass them. They then react to praise with excessive self-criticism or by rejecting the compliment. Especially if they don't believe in themselves too much and were raised in an environment where praise is sparing but criticism is not sparing.


So how do you respond to a compliment? Simple will do - thank you. You don't need to immediately look for qualities to praise your counterpart for. This could feel forced or awkward. Make compliments in moments when you really feel that you have a counterpart to praise, otherwise you will appear inauthentic.

A few words of advice in conclusion


Find a reasonable balance - don't pull one compliment after another like rabbits out of a hat. You would look awkward and your counterpart would probably be embarrassed too. But at the same time, don't slip into not praising your counterpart at all. Well-aimed compliments said at the right time can strengthen a relationship, strengthen family ties, or cement a work team.


Compliment your counterpart at the right time and place. Flattery should definitely not cause any offense, nor act as targeted and cheap flattery. Under no circumstances is it appropriate to tell your colleague in a meeting and in front of the whole team that she has a nice butt in her new dress. Your efforts may also come to naught if your counterpart is so busy that he doesn't notice his surroundings too much and doesn't have time to debate.
