Would you return the compliments?

In which circumstances would you like to return the compliments?

@LadyDuck You are right. However, I would like to add that everyone is beautiful in this world in his/her own sense.

@dpk262006 If the situation justify to return the compliment and if it's not a fake compliment. I mean, if someone tells me "you are a beautiful woman" and this one is a ugly man or woman, I cannot say "thank you, you are beautiful too". This would not be a compliment, but a silly thing to say.

So you do not believe in immediately returning the compliments, as the other person might take it as fake. Have you tried it ever? I mean any experience on this account, when other person explicitly told you that you gave fake compliments to him/her?

@tzwrites There is a possibility to return the compliments, provided we want to give return compliments. If someone has appreciated us about our appearance, we could return the compliments, the other person is least likely to say that we are giving fake compliments. You could try it next time when you receive any compliment and let us know the results.

@dpk262006 No, that's not what I mean. But returning the compliment is not always a possibility. If the compliments are about your physical appearance, it's kind of cheesy to say something about their appearance back.

That is sweet on your part that you don't forget to say thank you to the person, who has complimented you. Do you have any method to check if the compliment is true of false? Don't you believe in returning compliments?

@SIMPLYD It is good that you believe in returning the compliments. . You are a nice person.

@dpk262006 if i am doubtful, I always would say Really? Yes, i do return the compliment if i see th ne saying it to be also looking good. But if not, i just thank him or her whatever the case may be.

You have very rightly said. However, I would like to know what do you do if you receive compliments, do you return it or say ''thank you'' only?

That is very correct thing to do; it has a positive effect.

OH! It sounds bad that you always compliments others but they do not bother to return your compliments. Hopefully, some day they would realize their mistake. You are worth complimenting.

@JustBhem Hope other appreciate you and start giving compliments to you.

@dpk262006 Yes, most of the time I am a giver.

If that person is not interesting enough, would you not reciprocate?

@Rashnag Ok. Got your point. I hope you found my discussions interesting.

@dpk262006 yes. I don't do it out of curtosy. I should feel it then only can do it

You mean to say that you do not miss to compliment others, however, they do not generally reciprocate?

@allknowing It is not fair on their part to not to reciprocate.

@dpk262006 Yes. That is how it is around here.

Do you feel that all compliments regarding your beauty are superficial? Does it not depend on the fact that who is appreciating your beauty and the occasion on which s/he is complimenting you?

@toniganzon But you are beautiful.

@dpk262006 I never really considered that. I always feel awkward whenever somebody tells me I'm beautiful.

That is a nice way. Don't you think of returning their compliments by giving them return compliments?

@Shavkat Yes, you are right.

@dpk262006 I think there is nothing wrong if we give it back the same compliments.

Don't you believe in returning compliments?

@carebear29 Saying 'thanks' cannot be considered that you are giving compliments in return.

@dpk262006 yes i do. i always say thanks mostly

We are under no obligation to return the compliments, you are right. If someone compliments us then saying ''Thank you'' is enough. It seems that you do not believe in returning compliments?

@cahaya1983 In which situations it is not relevant to return the compliments?

@dpk262006 No I didn't say I don't believe in returning compliments. It depends on the situation, in certain situations returning the compliment may not be relevant, even.

You mean to say that if a close friend has complimented you, you would probably just smile and won't feel the need to say even 'Thank you' to him/her?

@sol_cee Are you always short of cash?

@dpk262006 yeah or to tell him/her I don’t have cash. Lol

At least you make it a point to say ''Thank you'' to the person, who has complimented you, however, you don't return the compliment immediately.

@JudyEv Yes, I agree with you that it depends on the occasion and circumstances and returning the compliment immediately does not seem appropriate to you, you do it at an appropriate time.

@dpk262006 It depends so much on the occasion and how things are said but if I respond immediately with a compliment to them, it seems to me to take away from THEIR compliment. Instead of taking in and fully accepting the nice things they've said, I'm putting the onus back on them to say 'thank you' to me. So I don't always think it is appropriate to compliment them straight back. Does that make sense? I hope so.

Does it mean that you feel shy saying 'Thank you' to the person, who has complimented you?

@Hannihar I am sorry to hear that your family did not use to appreciate you. Believe in yourself, you are special creation of God and you deserve compliments.

@dpk262006 dpk, it is because I was not appreciated in my family so therefore I cannot believe someone would give me a compliment.

It means that you believe in returning compliments but if you feel that at that moment you have nothing to say, you simply say 'Thank You' to the person, who has complimented you.

@celticeagle Yes, you are right.

@dpk262006 ......I think that is best.

Don't you think about returning the compliment then and there itself or at a later date?

Do you believe in returning compliments?

@ilocosboy That is a great quality in you.

Yes, big yes.

How would you differentiate between fake and real compliments? Any yardstick?

@aureliah Fine enough.

@dpk262006 to me it is a compliment that is returned immediately.

In which circumstances would you like to return the compliments?

@thewaher You mean to say that you won't return the compliment immediately if a stranger has given you compliments, however, if you know a person, you may think of returning the compliments.

@dpk262006 I would return the compliment is a situation where it would be appreciated and is sincere. If someone sends an FB messages that compliments you, but you don't know them at all this would not be the best situation to compliment them back. However, if someone I know compliments me, I am more likely to compliment them back.

It's nice on your part that you not only say thank you to the person, who compliments you but you also return the compliment to him.

@dpk262006 thanks
