Taking Compliments Is Important

A compliment is something that few of us take well. Many of us become embarrassed by the thought of someone paying us a compliment, and displaying an interest in how we are. These people tend to be insecure, and lack some self confidence when it comes to life.

But the rejection of taking a compliment can seriously harm our friendships and relationships, including our romantic relationships. If it becomes hard for you to take compliments off of each other then it can certainly harm the relationship, in terms of its fluency and trust. If you cannot trust that your partner is complimenting you purely because you look nice then you will have problems.

Some us believe that a positive action, if out of the ordinary, is done to mask a mistake they have made. They do not often say nice things about us, so of course they must be lying to our faces. The logic that we put ourselves through really doesn't make much sense when you put it like this.

We should trust the things that our partners say to us, and believe them in a way in which only we can believe them. Relationships are about trust and having fun, and losing yourself in each other. If you can lose yourself in each other by paying each other compliments then you will have great success as a couple. You will have a happy life and make the most of everyday.

This is the healthiest way in which we can live, and taking a compliment is a small step towards this action. In general conversation it can be very awkward and disconcerting if someone pays us a compliment and we can only reply by acting awkwardly, or even worse completely rebuffing the compliment.

The trouble with paying someone a compliment is you look for their weaknesses at times and make a positive comment. This brings out all kinds of emotions for the receiver of the compliment and can even lead them to become nervous and self conscious. This seems unlikely for most people, but is a reality for most.

It is however true that taking a compliment too well can be seen as arrogant and therefore causes a negative reaction to others. So taking a compliment well really can be quite important when it comes to life, the way in which people perceive us is crucial to us, and therefore taking a compliment well is important.
