There’s a thin line between being overly humble and cocky, and establishing balance can be challenging. So, how do you respond to a compliment in the right way that respects all the compliment-responding criteria?<\/p>\n
Here are some don’ts and do’s to keep in mind when responding to a compliment:<\/p>\n
DON’TS<\/h3>\nDon’t throw a compliment back just because you received one<\/h4>\n
Seriously, don’t. You don’t want to be seen as a person who compliments the other person just because they complimented you.<\/p>\n
Todos sabemos que esos cumplidos no son aut\u00e9nticos, y s\u00f3lo sirven para hacer las cosas menos inc\u00f3modas.<\/b><\/p>\n
Don’t feel forced to compliment back the same second someone compliments you. Accept the praise in a humble way and keep rolling.<\/p>\n
Don’t downplay<\/h4>\n
Cuando ayudas a alguien con algo y te expresa su gratitud, \u00bftienes la necesidad de restar importancia a tu gesto con algo como “Oh, it’s not a <\/i>gran cosa<\/i>, really…”<\/i><\/p>\n
T\u00fa mismo sabes la importancia de tu esfuerzo, pero el intento de parecer demasiado modesto es m\u00e1s fuerte que t\u00fa.<\/p>\n
Mentalmente fuerte<\/b><\/a> people don’t <\/b>restar importancia a<\/b> the importance of their actions, but they also don’t brag about it.<\/b> Reconoce tu autoestima y, si alguien te hace un cumplido, ac\u00e9ptalo de forma sincera y no burlona.<\/p>\n Ignoring the person’s compliment doesn’t make it go away, but it creates awkwardness (unless we’re talking about an insulting backhanded compliment).<\/p>\n If you ignore the compliment, the complimenter will repeat it a few times because they’ll think you didn’t hear it. Can you imagine the amount of weirdness in that scenario? I bet you can.<\/p>\n Quejica:<\/b> “That’s a great dress.”<\/i><\/p>\n A ti:<\/b> “I had to wear something to hide my big stomach and compensate for my terrible makeup.”<\/i><\/p>\n If this sounds familiar to you, just don’t do that.<\/p>\n Autocr\u00edtica<\/b> es un tipo de comportamiento autodestructivo que puede da\u00f1ar gravemente tu autoestima y hacer que el otro <\/b>persona sentir<\/b> inc\u00f3modo.<\/b><\/p>\n Psychology Today<\/a> lo explica de la siguiente manera:<\/p>\n “Sadly, many people tend to shut down what we call the “dance of gratitude.” When we shut down the dance, we are inadvertently preventing love and praise from entering our beings. It\u2019s like closing the door on someone and stopping them from entering our home, and ultimately, our heart.”<\/i><\/p>\n Qui\u00e9rete a ti mismo<\/a> the way you are. Work on yourself, and accept the things you can’t change about yourself. And, yes, accept the compliments without the need to humiliate yourself.<\/p>\n Ah\u00ed es donde un simple <\/b>“Thank you”<\/i><\/b> entra en la historia.<\/b> Es la forma m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil de expresar tu gratitud sin exagerar ni restarle importancia.<\/p>\n So, why complicate things? (That’s something I repeat to myself on a daily basis.)<\/p>\n When receiving a compliment or responding to it, maintain eye contact because that’s the main indicator of self-confidence.<\/p>\n Presta especial atenci\u00f3n a tus vibraciones, <\/b>lenguaje corporal<\/b>y <\/b>expresiones faciales<\/b>. When you’re feeling uncomfortable and nervous, your <\/b>lenguaje corporal<\/b> won’t hesitate to display it.<\/b><\/p>\n For example, you might start acting reserved (crossed arms) and the complimenter will think you’re ungrateful for a compliment and not interested in them (if they’re someone you secretly admire).<\/p>\n Si tienes baja autoestima, hay muchas formas de aumentar tu confianza, y practicar afirmaciones de amor propio<\/a> es un buen comienzo.<\/p>\n If other people are also included in a certain accomplishment, don’t forget to share the credit. Still, this doesn’t mean that you should exclude yourself completely from a compliment.<\/p>\n Menciona el hecho de que la ayuda de otras personas te ha ayudado a triunfar. Comparte el m\u00e9rito con naturalidad y humildad.<\/p>\n Una de las grandes preguntas de todos los tiempos es la siguiente: “What do I do after responding to a compliment?”<\/i><\/p>\n Quejica:<\/b> “I love your T-shirt.”<\/i><\/p>\n A ti:<\/b> “Thank you.”<\/i><\/p>\n *PAUSA INC\u00d3MODA*<\/b><\/p>\n During this awkward pause, you have no idea what to say or do. You just stand there and “appreciate life with all its ups and downs” including this one.<\/p>\n Should you talk about the weather, your pet, anything? If you’re one of those people who can’t endure the pain of awkward silences, then you need to mantener la conversaci\u00f3n<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00bfC\u00f3mo lo har\u00e1?<\/p>\n Utiliza tu respuesta a un cumplido como transici\u00f3n. Sigue hablando de d\u00f3nde compraste la camiseta, menciona que hab\u00eda otros colores de esa misma camiseta, etc.<\/p>\n If it’s about a job accomplishment, talk about the process of it (but don’t overdo it) and you’ll survive and successfully avoid that dreaded awkward silence. Congrats!<\/p>\n V\u00e9ase tambi\u00e9n: Respuesta coqueta a C\u00f3mo est\u00e1s: 210 mejores respuestas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Lord knows how many times I made a fool out of myself because I didn’t know how to appreciate a guy’s compliment. Speaking of multiple failed romances even before they officially started.<\/p>\n Fing\u00eda no interesarme por ellos s\u00f3lo para que se interesaran. I used to be ‘a playing-hard-to-get girl’, but now I’m ‘a playing-it-safe girl’.<\/b> Tengo que decirte que esto \u00faltimo es diez veces m\u00e1s productivo (aun as\u00ed, depende del tipo).<\/p>\n Como todos sabemos que los chicos viven para la persecuci\u00f3n, tienes que expresarles tu gratitud de vez en cuando para que sigan esforz\u00e1ndose a\u00fan m\u00e1s por impresionarte.<\/p>\n Si quieres que \u00e9l sepa cu\u00e1nto aprecias su cumplido, entonces tienes que aprender a responder a un cumplido de un chico de la manera correcta. Prueba las siguientes respuestas, que son neutras pero eficaces.<\/b><\/p>\n It’s when you can’t hide the excitement due to all the oxytocin levels that kick in once your special person compliments you in a flirty way. And, then you instantly jump into the flirting mode and pray to God that you don’t ruin it by saying too much or too little.<\/p>\n Of course, if a flirty compliment is uninvited, you have every right to express your unwillingness to accept it, but make sure to do it in a modest way (perhaps with a dash of sarcasm if you’re feeling bold).<\/p>\n Below, you’ll find some examples for both situations:<\/p>\n The other person, obviously, can’t see your face once you read their compliment, and you have the freedom to express yourself (e.g., jump around from happiness or express annoyance).<\/p>\n The other person can’t see your <\/b>lenguaje corporal<\/b> and, therefore, doesn’t have the luxury of looking for signs of nervousness or similar.<\/b><\/p>\n Lo \u00fanico que pueden analizar es tu respuesta. Entonces, \u00bfc\u00f3mo vas a responderles? Depende de tipo de relaci\u00f3n<\/a> with them. Perhaps they’re a stranger texting you for the first time or some guy\/girl you really like.<\/p>\n Le sugiero que elija una respuesta en funci\u00f3n de su relaci\u00f3n con ellos.<\/b> Below you’ll find some responses to a compliment in different tones for various occasions. Also, you can add some emojis to these texts if you feel like it.<\/p>\n If you’ve ever received one from a person you like (and I’m sure you have), don’t question the validity of my statement in the previous sentence.<\/b><\/p>\n Whenever I receive a flirty compliment on social media from someone I’m crazy about, I scream from happiness and say something like:<\/p>\n “OMG is this real? I have to read it again. It is real! They are flirting with me. What should I do? I don’t want to appear too serious, but I also don’t want to overdo it. Universe, send some help, please!”<\/i><\/p>\n Tras varios fracasos <\/b>coqueto<\/b> compliment responses, I’ve realized that a sense of humor was the missing ingredient.<\/b> I mean, who doesn’t like to laugh?<\/p>\n If you respond in a humorous way, they will also see that you aren’t taking yourself too seriously. Rather, you’re accepting their compliment in a grateful and humble way filled with some good old humor.<\/p>\n Entonces, \u00bfc\u00f3mo se responde a un <\/b>coqueto<\/b> \u00bfCumplido?<\/b> Escribe algo gracioso y a\u00f1ade algo de caritas emoji coquetas<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00bfC\u00f3mo responder a un cumplido en el trabajo?<\/p>\n You definitely shouldn’t spice your response with sarcasm (regardless if you secretly like your colleague).<\/b> Lo que debes hacer es expresarles tu sincero agradecimiento por el reconocimiento de tus habilidades y esfuerzos.<\/p>\n Also, if the compliment doesn’t just encompass your effort, but a team effort, make sure to mention it in your response. Otherwise, you’ll appear rude and egocentric, which is something we all want to avoid, right?<\/p>\n To help you avoid any potentially awkward situation, below, you’ll find some worthy examples for various occasions.<\/p>\n If you don’t, then you’re missing all the fun. <\/b>(But, worry not because today, I’ll help you compensate for that.)<\/p>\nDon’t ignore the compliment<\/h4>\n
Don’t humiliate yourself<\/h4>\n

If you’re an overthinker like myself, I’m sure you think of one million potential responses when someone compliments you. Complicating things in your head will (almost) always result in choosing the wrong approach.<\/p>\nUtilizar un lenguaje corporal apropiado<\/h4>\n

Tengo que admitir que coquetear saludos<\/a> son unas de mis favoritas principalmente porque te dan la posibilidad de responder tambi\u00e9n de forma coqueta.
