Had any compliments lately?

I was just wondering if anyone out there have had any compliments thrown their way? I have had a few and I don't know how to handle them. It's like I want someone to notice, but when they compliment me I really don't know what to say. It's just my character, I know. I had a rough childhood and not many compliments along the way...but that's the past. I try not to analyze myself like this and I would love to be able to accept compliments without getting embarrassed.

Also, it does seem that when I start getting compliments, my mind says, "Ok, you've done well. You can start eating again."

Me thinks the woman needs a shrink!!!

And, how many of you get compliments from your female friends? Mine are few and far between. Is it a "woman" thing? (Except for MFP, of course!!!)

My husband compliments me all the time, and so does my family. They are very supportive and are my biggest cheerleaders.

I got a compliment on Private Message the day before yesterday on here from someone I had never spoken to before. I thanked them with a smile.

Compliments are wonderful. You should accept them and smile because you are worthy of them!

P.S. You have a beautiful smile!

A coworker who I've never spoken with asked for training advice this morning. Also this morning a friend texted me telling me she missed my calming and reassuring voice lol

Kinda backhanded compliments from the GF but things like

Your arms are not as comfortable, or your chest isnt as squishie.

Its a complaint but damn does it feel good.
