Compliments are an important part of building healthy relationships. They are also a great way to boost your mood and increase your self-confidence. However, some people have a difficult time accepting compliments.

Whether you are a newbie or an old pro, there are ways to overcome this challenge. First, you must understand why you feel that way in the first place.

In many cases, people with low self-esteem are more likely to reject compliments. This may have something to do with the fact that they have a hard time recognizing their own good qualities and are therefore unable to see how much others admire them.

The ability to receive and respond to compliments is the first step toward a healthy relationship. Not only does it build trust between you and your partner, but it can also support healing from trauma.

Despite the benefits of receiving and recognizing compliments, the majority of people choose to ignore or deflect the praise. Some studies have even found that ignoring or deflecting compliments leads to more resentment.

However, the good news is that it's not as difficult as it seems. With a little practice, you can change your behaviour. It's not as easy as saying "yes, thank you" though, as it is a learned behavior that takes effort and conscious thought.

Compassion is a holistic concept that consists of three elements: noticing, feeling, and responding. Using a combination of self-report, behavioral, and bio-behavioral measures, researchers can assess compassion at both the individual and organizational level.

One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to increase your self-worth. This is not something that you can do overnight, but it is a process that can be achieved over time.

You can get a sense of your self-worth by examining how you feel about yourself and your life. Some areas of life you will naturally excel at and others you may find more difficult to deal with. The key is to have high self-confidence in the activities you enjoy.


The best way to do this is to show yourself unconditional love. It is not necessary to be perfect or to work hard to be loved. Practicing self-compassion is a great way to build your "piggy bank" of self-worth.

When you first start building your self-esteem, you will need to spend some time countering negative thoughts. While it can be daunting, it will help to keep a positive outlook. If you find yourself thinking negatively, remember that it is a human trait and it is not an indication of your character.

As you build your self-confidence, you will notice that your decisions are easier to make. For example, you will be less inclined to let someone else dictate your life. In addition, you will be more likely to pursue your goals.
