How do you respond to compliments?

The cricuit assembly for Jahovah witnesses ina mearby town. Its so easy to make bread. People say its so time consuming. Well, the time consuming is in the riseing not taking your personal time. Then they also say its messy. I find that not to be true either. I use a flat wooden spoon to stir i til it gets too thick by the time you use yor hands it should not be sticky at all. Its more elastic by then. Homemade bread does stale faster and since im single i dont bake the full loaf anymore. After it rises the first time i punch it down and divide it into smaller pieces than freeze it. When it thaws i form 2 buns or a hoggie loaf and let it rise again bake it and wa la fresh bread for a sandwhich. I started making it because i got concerned about the perservitives in foods and i was also tired of trying to get a loaf home without it getting smashed. Also being single it was hard to keep it fresh too. Homemade taste much better. Cheaper too. Oh ya the fry bread is great too. My aunt was married to an indian guy and his family would make the fry bread all the time. In my home town when the carnivals came to town the indian people would open a stand and make indian tacos. They would take bread dough and roll it out bigger than a flour tortellia then fry it. On top of the finished fry bread shell they would add taco stuff. They were so very good. Ive made those before too. If your too scared to try making it you could get the frozen bread dough to make them. Thats what i did before i made my own dough. Once my brother asked a indian dude at the stand how he makes them and the guy told him, "why dont you just buy the frozen dough like the white people do."

You shouldn't feel that way. Making bread is a dying art that not too many people can do. I wish I knew how to make my own bread. I still remember how good it was when my grandmother made fresh bread. When she was finished making all the loves she would have some dough left over she would fry it. That was a real treat. What circuit assembly did you go to?

You guys are making me so hungry right now!

Decide in advance how you want to handle the situation of compliments, received and offered, and then stick to it. The more you practice the less awkward it will become.

Yes, that just might work. Thanks!

It is true that most of the time I feel obligated to give back a praise but that only makes it more awkward. That article must have been a lot of help for you. I know better now how to deal with situations wherein compliments are involved.

Sincerity is very necessary.

It is true that compliments can brighten up our mood and make us feel good about ourselves. However, we should remember to be sincere and if you are the recipient of the praise, you should not let it get to your head. Thanks for responding!

I would definitely agree to that, especially knowing that someone recognizes your potential in some area or skill that I possess. Feeling good does help in avoiding, not only physical sickness, but also sicknesses that we get mentally. (^_^")

But let's admit, a compliment a day really keeps the doctor away!

Some people are good at flattery even if it means they had to be fake. For me I believe that we should praise more often than we criticize but then, it also must be sincere. If you have no positive thing to say then keep your observations to yourself. Right?

You're right! being true to yourself are true to others. God bless

You said it. It is true that it is quite tempting to fish for more compliments, but it shouldn't be or else other people will think we are so full of ourselves. Again, I have proven that "thank you" is the most modest, safest, and nicest response to a compliment.

I truly admire people who find it easy to praise people. They are very positive and they can pass on their happiness to others.

I like that, accept it freely but humbly.

it's really funny how sometimes we can say things about a person with all good intentions but somehow they don't really come across as intended. Some people are offended over things we say without us meaning it. So with that, I learned that "thank you" is really the best and safest answer.

A simple acknowledgement for our efforts can really do magic.

All you said is right. It only hurts when people only hand over their praises just to get something back.

I can not agree with you more. Compliments always make you feel good about yourself!

I really admire people who manages to find a way to conceal their feeling of being flattered because I simply cannot hide a blush.

We should steer clear from those kind of people, then.

I'm sure many others are also learning great things from you.

I feel sorry for that person. He/She is probably not getting enough affirmation at home that he craves for it at work. You can try to be more sincere and true to your praises as this will also come back to you. When you are insincere, it isn't far that you will also doubt the truthfulness of other people's praises for you.

Truly compliments from our loved ones are certain to be sincere. We have to be careful with other people we barely know because chances are they have motives for doing so.
