Question Posted Thursday November 12 2009, 3:38 pm
Hi, I'm 15/f and this is a really random question, but I was just wondering how do you respond to compliments without being cockey & stuck up, but at the same time without making things akward? Also, how do you respond to positive comments someone makes about you without seeming like you care or it really matters to you even if it makes you really happy (so you're not being stuck up)? example: if your friend tells you that all the boys think you're really pretty (in front of other people)

This lets the person know you appreciate the compliment. Also, you can say "really?" and then smile and kind of giggle. Act kind of shy, this lets people know you like the compliment. :] hope i helped!

B) give a really sincere smile and say "thanks!"
C) dont play dumb and say "wow, really?"
D) sometimes adding a tiny chuckle is nice. it means that this caught you by surprise, and you're pleased. [ laynemayhem's advice column | Ask laynemayhem A Question ]
