A kind word from a stranger
It makes me feel good
But compliments from a lover
Make me want to duck for cover
It's a strange autonomy
That makes me wonder
About the anatomy
Of our strange dichotomy

~Arana Darkwolf~
An' it harm none, do what ye will. Blessed be.

Compliments may not be easy to handle, when we feel challenged and might fear to belie expectations.

Good verse.

I find it much easier to give compliments than to receive them...*HUGS*

Well, this certainly made me smile.
In some cases it's just the way it is and you've written about it in an interesting way here.
Enjoyable read for sure.

When I was in high school I was out with friends and one of them said something nice to me. I didn't know what to say, blushed and wanted to fall through the floor. An older gentleman leaned over to me and whispered in my ear. He said, "Just say thank you.", smiled a gentle smile and walked away. I have lived those words ever since,

Rachael, just say thank you.
