I'm a mix between the first and the last choice. I love receiving compliments and I accept them graciously, but then I deny them! Like "your hair is lovely today" and my response is "Thanks,
but it's not really"
It depends on the compliment. I'm more apt to accept compliments about things I do rather than compliments about what I'm like. Like, if a coworker says, "You did a really good job on that
presentation today" I can take that. But if someone says "You look nice today," I never believe them and always end up stammering before taking the compliment.
They embarrass me. The guy at AT&T the other day did it. He kept telling Jason how lucky he was to be married to me. I smiled the entire time in the store (I smile all the time...), had a
conversation about college football with him, I remembered an authorization code he had gotten over the phone so he kept telling me how smart I was, and he kept telling Jason how awesome and
cute I was. I ended up going into the store next door after thanking him because he was definitely embarrassing me. Jason has had fun picking on me about it.
Mmm, most of the time I love compliments and don't have a problem accepting them. But every once in a while, I have to fight the urge to dissemble and dive into the whole self-deprecation
thing.
it depends on the compliment. i can usually take it. but i will sometimes be a tad embarrassed and try not to let it show. i will usually say thank you.

i used to be terrible at taking compliments, but i've started to come into my own over the past few years and now i'm getting better at it
I'm not very good at it, but I'm trying too.
No, not really. I usually think people are just trying to be nice and don't really mean it.
yea im not good at it either..there is always a denial in the process..LOL..but im only human..and im working on it
I'm better than I used to be. I still try to shrug it off sometimes though and act cool about it. I bet I probably look like a doofus.

I am a mix between the second and third choices; I always get embarrassed but still acknowledge it too.
