Like the title states, how do you react when a person be it from the same sex or opposite sex just randomly compliments you?

Do you like it?
Do you think they are crazy?

What is your honest reaction?

    Honestly? Slight embarrassment :blush:

    I'm used to being the ignored one, so getting any form of attention is a little odd to me.

    I usually find a way to compliment them in return...

    Just smile, say thank you, keep moving. Enjoy the concept later :). Always surprises me.

    Manners dictate that I smile and say "Thank you". The only caveat being that it is an actual compliment, and not harassment or someone hitting on me.

    I have been wearing unique/big/colorful glasses for several years. I always get compliments. I love that.

    What I don't like it when people grab my arm (I have a sleeve) and ogle it.

    I usually feel uncomfortable receiving compliments. I say thank you, but always feel like I have to credit whatever helped me achieve whatever they're complimenting, and then give them a compliment right back.

    I say thanks and would probably tell them it was sweet of them to say

    If it is someone truly trying to be sweet, I will say thank you. They're not always sweet though.

    It makes me uncomfortable because I don't always see myself as someone else sees me. Internally, I'm analyzing if they are saying it because they mean it or saying it to be sarcastic. So, I just usually smile and say thank you while my brain works overtime.

    Don't really bother me, however when drunk men or women get touchy than it seems awkward however I got used to intoxicated people so it is what it is?

    In the past I used to deny any complements. Now I've learned to say thank you and have a good day.
