When someone compliments you, instead of explaining it away in half guaged neurotic mumblings, stop yourself and smile. Say “Thank you”.
It’s ok to just say thank you. A compliment in response (only if it’s true and you were going to say it anyway) may be in order but is not necessary.
With an H-biyatch has been trying to school me on this for eons but I still get wrapped up in insecure excuses.
So thank you. *grin*
