How does one deal with genuine praise correctly?

I had a situation today where I got heaped with praise...and it was super awkward for me. First few compliments I said "Thanks" but then the person just kept going & I didn't know what to do.:erm:

Don't want to go into the details of the situation, but lets just assume for this thread that were talking about the genuine kind not sarcastic / suck-up praise. ;)
 
Yes, it does become akward!!

The best way I deal with it is to acknowledge it, simply, by saying either "thank you" or "it was my pleasure to assist you".

Do not give speeches or say "it was nothing". Be thankful and humble. Smile and wave!
 
I get it ALL the time.

I've been told im a solid 9/10. Yesterday I was out wearing my wifebeater and speaking to this chick and she couldn't stop drooling, wanting to touch my biceps , abs etc. Im so use to the compliments these days I don't even take much notice of it.

I love the fact I don't even need to game chicks these days. All I need is my trusty wifebeater, even going to clubs I wear it, and I just line em up. Ofcourse you need the face to go with the body, which I do.

Eat, get big, get ripped...

U rock!
 
"You are being too kind" :)
I like it. Just the right blend between "thanks" & "its too much".

Be thankful and humble.
I guess. The actual implementation of this just gets me. Body posture, tone of voice, word choice...

Smile and wave!
Every time I hear that I get a stupid grin on my face because it reminds me of the penguins in Madagascar.

I don't. Hence lack of experience & this thread.

Blame it on someone else. :-P

And that's actually honest advise - I've found that often when people praise or thanks me it is for something I did as part of a team, and without the team I couldn't have done what I did. And if you give the team their due credit, it only strengthens the team.
