Nobody teaches us how to respond to compliments, but meanwhile, not everyone knows how to accept them! Have you ever thought about what you do in response to a compliment? Do not believe him? Shyly shrug off? Say: "Nothing special, everyone would succeed!". If these situations are familiar to you, then this information will be useful to you!
How to respond to compliments?
The art of making beautiful compliments has always been highly appreciated. Is it unpleasant for someone when they say kind words, praise him for the work done, or just say something laudatory? I don’t think so. A good word, as they say, is pleasant to a cat. A compliment can inspire, inspire joy and pride in the heart.
But lately, I have increasingly noticed that many women are completely unable to respond to compliments! It is not surprising that compliments gradually cease to be addressed to them after they embarrassingly shrug off praise, or immediately begin to convince a person that they did not deserve a compliment: "That would have worked out for anyone!". And it is very sad.
What is the reason that women do not know how to respond to a compliment?
Almost always, the root of such a reaction is the woman’s self-doubt. Low self-esteem makes you think that it is impossible to sincerely admire her, even makes you look for a trick in a compliment.
Whatever the reasons for the uncertainty, one must remember that the ability to love and respect yourself is insanely important in life. Women possessing them, as a rule, are happy and harmonious. So I want to compliment them!
1. Caring for your body. How often in our time, women, absorbed in a child, work or everyday worries, forget about such "trifles" as manicure, pedicure, hair care, and even a banal foam bath! But all this takes away negative emotions from us, gives self-confidence. It is not necessary to run to an expensive salon, you can make a manicure and a face mask at home.
2. Sports. The best is dancing! Sports load improves mood, thanks to the natural production of hormones of happiness, gives the necessary work to muscles numb from office work, to develop flexibility, grace, coordination! And, besides, it liberates, and this is what we need!
3. Be the first to compliment! Firstly, give a good mood to people, secondly, you will immediately understand what kind of reaction you would like to receive, and you will be able to focus on this, and thirdly, the presented compliments and good mood will definitely come back!
4. Learn something. A person feels significant when he manages to master some new business. In addition, as a rule, this is a great pleasure. Remember that once you wanted to enroll in crochet courses, or saw a soap-mastering class, or dreamed of learning French. Go for it, what's stopping you?
5. The psychological attitude. No matter how trite the advice may seem in the morning, tell yourself in the mirror: "I love you!" and write down 10 things that pleased you today in a special notebook every night - it works! You get used to seeing the good in everything, and tune in to a positive wave.
What is the best way to respond to a compliment?
The most optimal and simple reaction is a sincere smile, and the words: "Thank you, I am very pleased!"
1. No matter how it is formulated, the main thing is for a person to feel that his kind words did not fly away into the void. Otherwise, the feeling of awkwardness that a person will experience without receiving a reaction to his compliment will noticeably diminish his desire to do it for anyone in the future.
2. Realize that you have the right to receive compliments. No need to make excuses, try to immediately give a compliment (unless you want to illustrate a fable about a cuckoo and a rooster), do not belittle your merits.
3. Do not go to extremes. A compliment is just a compliment. You do not owe anything to the person who does it, except thanks. If someone is flattering you in order to achieve some of your goals, do not fall for this bait.
