VERYYY humble/modest
hey guys :) 15/f.
I'm an extremely humble person. If somebody complements me and tells me how good I played a song on a piano or something, I'll just shrug it off like "nahh..I'm not good at all. You're better than me :)" And if we were to take a test, and I got a good score, people would be like "You're so smart :O" My reaction: "No no. Hah, I'm not smart at all. :]" And when I do this, I really do mean it! I don't think I'm good at these things at all! And I don't think I should be complemented..but instead *I* should complement people.!
I really hate this. I do it EVERYYY time somebody says ANYTHING nice about me or complements me. It's not bad or anything. I mean, I'm nice to people. But...How can I overcome this stupid reaction? >_>
Thank you very much :]

You are too full of yourself: Talent lasts for a time but it soon passes away like it was never there. Thank people for their complements but remember that "Pride comes before a fall" and remember that there are kids your age whose IQ is MUCH higher than yours. Be humble and thank God for your gifts and try to help your neighbors with your gifts. If you are a Christian or a Jew, then you already know this: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and thou shalt love thy neighbor you as love thyself"
Here is the bright side: You can go far with your talents. Just don't become another Paris Hilton or Brittney Spears!

what the other columnist is completely true. not that you should do ANYTHING for another's pleasure. this doesn't only sound humble, but submissive, and it's not an advantage you want to give other people. this is the same reason people step on me sometimes without me even noticing. i understand you want to be nice, because its the best, but if you think you can't control yourself from doing it, take your time in answering. it may seem rude, but you can also say nothing at all until you're able to control the reaction. even though you shouldn't think this way, you can't help being nice, you just can't be too nice ALL the time. hope i helped <3.

When you don't accept compliments from people it makes it seem as if you're just fishing for reassurance or more compliments. So just try saying thank you, anyway to break a habit is to just watch yourself and make sure you don't do it.
