YOU deserve it!
I have never taken credit even when I deserved it! Strange, huh? Believe it or not so many of us do this either consciously or sub-consciously! I remember one day I had this little chit chat with a former english teacher. It was me and two of my friends talking to him when I said to him: "I really miss english classes!" (which is very true! lol! I have always loved studying english! :D) His reply was:"Well, you are a great student that's why!" I had my eyes open for a moment <<>
He didn't say a thing, not even a single word. He just gave me a weird look! One that got me thinking. I bet he was thinking, if he doesn't believe that he's great, why should I even bother? And he's right, you know! Why should he?!!
I couldn't forget the look he gave me though. That was the day when I said to myself:"Man! When people complement you, thank them instead of denying it!" & that's what I did. I created a bunch of replies like thank you, I appreciate it, it's sweet from you to say so, etc! & I kept playing the scene in my head time after time & training myself to reply with those lines :D
People the way some of us have been raised taught us to never take credit for our qualities, for some mysterious reasons! lol! STOP doing that! Enjoy truthful complements and thank people for them :)

You are very damn rite senseless! hahaha. I think we are growing in the world where we are thought not to be proud of ourselves in front of other people and we are having difficulty in handling compliment.
I'll take your word for granted that I will always show some appreciation when people compliment me :)
Er, I think I do that sometimes too, I mean I do thank 'em and appreciate it. though, i don't really think that "I'm that or I have that" whatever that has been said to me. And I say it, lol. like thank you but, it's not. Hmm.
*seperates the real compliments from the fake ones* sometimes, I even don't agree with the sincere comps. lol! er, ok, ok. laters, enjoy the blogging! =D

Oh I hear ya! I remember a friend was told me to learn how to accept a compliment lol.
Now what I try to do is, at least, say thank you, it means a lot coming from you, or something of that sort.
We need to learn to do that, and stop being shy about taking compliments!
someguy:: Exactly! We are brought up in such a way that we shouldn't be complimented! lol! Crazy world, huh?
Thanks for commenting :)
Senorita:: :D Well, I'm not here to defend the fake comps' but as you said you don't agree with the sincer comps'
That's what I think we need to work on & change the way we respond ;) Thanks :)
noor:: Thanks god! At last someone out there agrees with me! :D

Miss Monk:: Thank you so much! :cute:

lym:: Ummm, I understand what you mean :) Different people have different views ;) Thanks for commenting :)
I soo agree with u, many of us don't believe they're good enough or whatever, so when we get some compliments, we jus freak out, like it's weird!
