How do you react when a stranger randomly compliments you?

I Love getting compliments and will say Thank You! (probably with a big grin on my face!)0
-
I say thank you but I'm my worst critic. So if it's something I've accomplished, I'm flattered but in my head I can't help but point out all of the things I could've done better.0
-
Terribly. Compliments are the kind of thing that make me stay indoors in a very dark place0
-
I say thank you and usually tell them they're very sweet.0
-
I used to be suspicious of compliments, but as I've aged I now know how precious they are, so I always say "thank you" with a big smile.0
-
It does not happen, but if it did, I would run away, or hurt them in some way if I could not get away from them0
-
Say thanks cause it makes my day 10x better0
-
Surprised and uncomfortable but also grateful. I also feel this way when it's someone I know.0
-
its never happened so i cant say lol0
-
That depends. Is it a genuine compliment, or is it something we social strings attached.
Usually, it's a smile and a "Thank you."
Unless it's got undercurrents that don't deserve thanks. Then I am temporarily deaf.0 -
I've gotten compliments on clothes randomly
Say thanks and keep it moving0 -
I am learning to be grateful, normally I blush and fall silent look away etc...

thanks.0

As long as it's not sleazy, or screamed at me as I'm trying to walk down the street, I generally find it to be a nice thing.
Honestly, the best compliments for me have always been about non physical things- when somebody has called me smart or funny or kind. Those ones make me happiest0 -
All of the compliments I get are really awkward, but I still usually just say thank you and carry on with my life because I was taught to always use your manners.0
-
Well, I'm awkward, soooo, even though I don't mean to, I usually somehow find a way to undermine the compliment.
example:
"I like your outfit"
my awkward response:
"Thanks it was on sale..."
????
Generally followed by me wondering wtf is wrong with me.0 -
I say thank you and hope they don't say anything else, especially if it is a guy.-1

I always think they're crazy lol. When I was in Cuba on my honeymoon a Canadian guy told me I was beautiful. It was weird, he kind of turned round and stared at me, and said 'wow, you're really beautiful'. Um, ok.0
-
Drunk, or just just hollering obnoxiously, I just blow off after a quick turn of head to make sure it was aimed towards me. A compliment on the other hand, 'oh! You look nice! Lost a lot of weight' isn't too uncommon while I'm out walking (Everyone here walks or bikes) and I just kinda of awkwardly '....uhh.. thanks?' I have no idea how to talk to strangers. I feel bad sometimes, because I can take and appreciate a compliment, but it comes out unsure and and awkward like I'm questioning them and can't take the compliment lol.0
