Whenever a guy compliments me I think hes kidding and trying to be a jerk in a way. I was teased a lot through high school and wasnt very pretty and now I'm 20 and get hit on, not a lot, but enough. How do I get over this feeling that they are not being serious?

Sleep with them. If they are still there in the morning, they meant what they said.

Practice, practice, practice...when I was in high school and grade school I went through a goofy and awkward stage. I got my end of teasing, and it hurt a lot. After I hit about 17, I went through a complete physical turn around. I got a lot of compliments and had my own time where I thought "yeah right." I didn't have confidence, because people had bashed it for years. I had to learn to just accept the compliments. It is hard at first. You have to just work through it by saying thank you when it is appropriate. It took me a long time to accept them even from boyfriends. Look at yourself in the mirror and learn to appreciate who you are. When you like you, that confidence extends out. You'll find yourself believing those compliments much more. Plus, remember when you were teased in high school, you were teased by people who were also insecure which is usually why they tease in the first place.

You'll get over it. The older you get the more secure with yourself you get.
If you know you now look good thats really the first step ya know, so just have some confidence in yourself, which is totally easier said than done.
At 26 Im much more sure of myself than 20 and even at 22 was more sure of myself than 20. It will happen eventually.

you need to build up your confidence because you will find that you will get hit on more with more confidence. do things that make you feel better about yourself - get a new hair style, buy a new jacket or new wardrobe, make a list about the things that are best about you, and accept what they compliment you on withut wondering whether thay are serious or not!!

Get to know them further and find out of they really are just being jerks. Most of the time it doesn't take that long.

I think this has to do with your self-confidece, so the only thing you should do is just working on it. Being more confident would help.

You need to gain more self confidence so that you believe them when they compliment you!

It will come naturally believe it or not. You are now in the adult world.
