Taking Compliments Graciously
Originally posted: April 1, 2011 on TrishMcFarlane.com
Do you know how to take a compliment? I don’t know that I’m the best person to write about this in terms of giving advice. What I do know is that I”m someone who gets uncomfortable when someone gives me a direct compliment. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the fact that the person thinks I did something noteworthy and valuable, I just feel uncomfortable about my reaction. For me, if that person told someone else and I heard it second-hand, that would be far better. Somehow, telling a third party makes it easier for me to respond. Then, I can say something like, “Wow, it was really nice of John to say that about me. ”
How do you take compliments? If you’re good at it or have any tips for me on how I can get better, let me know. The worst thing we can do is get good feedback and not know exactly what to do with it. So….share your best tips in the comments.
