I say thankyou but I don't really know what to say in return without them thinking that I'm just saying it to be nice.

Say "thank you" & really mean it; use descriptive words. "OH, how sweet of you to say that !!!" - or "I really never gave it much thought", Or "You say the nicest things!" If you seem appreciative of the compliment, people will think of you as sincere; if your not, it always shows through! You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time! [abe lincoln] Just show some honesty & allow the kind words to flow from your lips when you speak in appreciation, & you definately won't come across as conceited!

you're being real. human beings like her probable won't substitute and could finally end up in a genuine finding Gossip lady. i might ask her why she's being so douche, and then if she maintains, or supplies some bs answer, i may be like, "BTW, we at the instant are not acquaintances." in case you controlled to place up together with her for 2 years, and now you're getting mad, it's time for a metamorphosis of ecosystem. You mentioned you're finding faults on your acquaintances. you're able to pass out of your thank you to make new acquaintances and get accessible. such as you mentioned, you're purely youthful. At your age, I felt the comparable issues, and that i'm disgusted with the movements of a few infants at present. Like that 17-twelve months-old embroiled interior the scandal with that soccer participant. LOL, australian.

Smile, and say, "thank you, you're very kind." If you say it sincerely, that will be enough. you've accepted the compliment, and you've complimented them back. If you're uncomfortable with a compliment, say that line, then change the subject to something else.

The best thing to do is say a simple 'thank you'. You may want to give them some sort of compliment afterwards.

Tell them thank you and if possible think of something nice you can honestly say in return. Like if they say Oh I LOVE your hair its sooooo pretty and you can honestly do so try saying thank you very much. I like your dress, its a very good color on you.

Say thank you and dont be self-conscious about it. I dont believe in compliments unless they are sincere anyways and people can see through false compliments.
