Compliments. in The Napkin.

I was getting compliments on my hair yesterday and I guess it was throwing me off. I still, to this day, don't know how to react to compliments. I kind of freeze like a dear in the headlights, and end up thinking so hard of what to say and how it's making me feel that I usually don't say anything. I know better; it FEELS like an insult but I cognitively can tell the difference.
I guess as much as I want attention, I'd rather be invisible. Hrm. I want attention on my terms, perhaps

I react the same way.
It used to be because I absolutely did not believe what they were saying could be true ... Then, it was because I thought they must only want something ... Now, I can accept that it's really just a compliment, but I just don't know what to say!

Well, start complimenting yourself in the mirror. It sounds cheesy, but you'll accept compliments from others a little easier and it makes you feel better. I used to be like that. I couldn't accept compliments from others because I refused to accept them from myself.
