How do you react when someone gives you a compliment? Do you generally accept compliments, or do you normally conceive that you don’t really deserve the compliments?

In the past it was a bit hard for me to accept compliments, but after a few years, now I am learning to accept them. If I am doing a good job, I will notice that and If someone( a teacher or a friend) says a compliment I can accept it.

* if someone says a compliment = if someone gives me a compliment (collocation)
I concur with you on the role of our conscience in making a judgment on the sincerity of compliments. As a matter of fact, we cannot fool ourselves.

I usually express my gratitudes and respect toward who compliments me and sometimes reciprocate. I try not to have bad feeling about receiving compliment . I think that it can increase my self esteem and if I think I don’t deserve such compliment it can be a motivation for me to work on my weak points and progress in future.

I agree with you, Soroosh. There is nothing wrong with getting positive energy from other people, especially our friends.
