    ^title

    i don't know what to do with that stuff 90% of the time, and it generally makes me feel uncomfortable, even if i feel like it's warranted

    i try and say thanks but i usually just sort of crack a cheesy grin and nod... idk, i'm just killing time till i can watch this TWD ep

    I usually hear it as sarcasm, though I'm sure it's usually not

    I honestly say thanks but it's awkward as s--- half the time because I'll probably think they're lying

    same here, I'm always wondering, what's this person truly thinking, do they want/need something, etc when they prolly just wanna be helpful or nice

    Say thanks. And when it's work related (like you did a great job) I feel good about it tbh.

    You guys are so insecure lmfao a compliment makes you feel uncomfortable or you think they're lying? Says a lot about you as a person if that's the first thing that comes to mind

    I smile and thank them, nobody has to compliment you if they don't want to. Just take it as truth and let them stroke your ego.

    I mean, I just say thanks what the f--- am I supposed to say. How I feel about them, I get them all the time to the point that it's become mundane so it's almost customary at this point.
