Women Need Learn How To Accept Praise (81)
It can be difficult accepting praise for various reasons.
A few that come to mind are:
- shyness.
- having grown up in a family where praise is not given, so it doesn't come easy.
- reading thread after thread after thread about body size perceptions.
- Receiving insincere praise and platitudes for so long that it is difficult to discern when it is genuine or someone wanting something from you.
- one's own distorted self image.

It's not a gender-based issue. Some men also find it difficult to accept compliments.
To answer your question, true for some, false for others.

That's the premise of comedian Amy Schumer's "Compliments" sketch -- and she makes a pretty valid point.

I was taught as a child to accept a compliment by saying thank you.

some women need prais all the time. some just don't feel they deserve it. and i agree, growing up in an environment without much compliments.. its hard for myself. i was treased a lot as a kid. in school i was the ugly kid no one wanted to be around.... now i am the one people want to go places with. and they expect me to liven up the party. but when people say nice things, i tend to change the subject.To answer your question, true for some, false for others.

Maybe.. but I am not one of those.
I know sometimes when I sent someone my latest photo, I would say "heyy.. here is the latest version of UGLY me!" My intension was simply to see the response. Sometimes, when someone said that I looked pretty, I would say (in humorous way) "oooohhh.. you are the first one who ever said that to me!"
But mostly, when someone gave me a compliment, I would say "thank you!"
To me, compliment is needed sometimes, and so is criticism.
and I prefer to have or to give both.. in BALANCED!

Yep, find that true in personal matters (looks), one of the reason is that I find it superficial from a complete stranger on here (family / friends is a different matter).
No problem with it in a professional setting, feedback for something I do I regard as important (positive and negative feedback that's it)

I realize that you're speaking just about women in this thread but and here comes the but....
I also think it's also true that some men included don't know how to accept compliments.It all comes down to their self-esteem and about trust the person who pays them the compliments.Or maybe it was how they were treated by other people from childhood to adulthood.
They may also wonder if that person who paid them the compliments was really sincere or not.

on a good day..i just say thank you. other times, yes..i have a hard time accepting compliments. depends on where my self esteem is, who's giving the praise, and if i think they are sincere.
looking forward to opportunities to practice...

If someone says "you look good today".
Does that mean that I look bad every other day? No it doesn't because we all have days that our hair wasn't in coordination with the curling iron or those pants weren't that tight last week.
It just means that you look especially good/nice that day.
If the compliment is coming from someone I know doesn't like me, I just say thank you and not elaborate on the fake compliment.
If someone compliments me on something I feel positive about I don't have a problem jumping up and down

when I was a minor, all compliments I got was so decent and sincere... from parents, relatives, friends, teachers...but through the time goes by, when I started to get in touch with the real world, sincere compliments from the sincere guys sounds like a needle in the haystacks...so I only simply say "thank you" when some bad guys give me hidden messages behind their fake compliments...
