When someone gives me a compliment, do I say “thank you” or refuse it? If I refuse it, where did I learn that from?

Question

HotPockets14 · Answer

It depends on what type of compliment, did the person say it in a nice way, a rude way or a bad way. You could have learned it from your parents, your friends or u seen it in the world and it rupped off on u.

Damion54 · Answer

You can technically say whatever you want.

Extrinix · Answer

Both responses actually fit well in a response to the compliment. Saying something such as "I'm not <whatever the general idea of the compliment was>" is as polite as simply saying "oh thank you" or otherwise. Both really have the same effect, it's just personal preference.

As for where you learned it from, typically you learn it from parents, friends, colleagues, etc. Anybody who is around you enough to shape who you are as a person. That's why keeping rude people around you is a bad idea.

I mean you should say thank you unless it's something inappropriate. Otherwise in my opinion it would be rude not to say thanks back

Keyaru · Answer

It may be rude but there are cases when the complement is inappropriate or maybe you just don't think you deserve it in which you should make your opinion clear so they know where your coming from ^^

If the comment may be rude then ignore it or decline it but if its a nice and good comment then accept it or say thank you. so they don't think your rude:>

This question is strange. Are you just posting nonsense at this point? “If someone gives me a compliment; Do I say thank you, or refuse it?” Are you delusional, or just seeking answers on this? Take a moment to ask yourself. “If I got a compliment right now; what would I say?” Stupid little question.

am I insane? No. all of the questions that I post are journal topics. some can be classified as Psychological questions, some just plain writing/English. if you don't like the questions then you don't have to reply. you have free will so use and ignore what you don't like. it'll come in handy in the real world.

Did I ask if you were insane? No. Read better before trying to insult me grammatically. You’re saying what you asked is a journal topic? It seems like you made it up. “Should I say thank you to a compliment of reject it?” Read that and tell me if it makes sense. It’s a stupid question, and you’ll learn fast in the real world….stupid questions get stupid answers.

go on google and search deep journal topics and scroll. also my bad for the insane word I have an issue with multi-tasking and someone was talking to me and said insane and it sounds similar to strange. so my apologies on that part. Still you can always ignore posts and you don't have to reply to them. Kind of gives a different intention than what you say with your words.
