Default Compliments

I was just thinking about compliments and how poorly I accept them. does anyone else have this problem?

I mean I can give a compliment with no problem but as soon as someone compliments me on something I feel weird about it, like I don't deserve it.

Depends on what the compliment is about. If it's about my car or my golf game, I take them well...if it's about me, I kinda take them weird or brush them off.

I'm the exact same way. I turn it around as I don't deserve it and tell them the same thing (I tell them the same compliment). I really don't know what to say.

The thing is I posted those images tonight on some other forums, and shortly afterwards I got some really high compliments from people I think are far superior in skill than I am. It felt really weird and as though I shouldn't be hearing it.

I dunno I really can't explain it. I know I am good at what I do and I do it because I enjoy it...I just don't think I am that good....this is in complete honesty.

it took me a long time to get comfortable with it. Now I just say "thanks" and leave it at that.
