How to Accept Compliments

Inspired by Gentlemen’s Gazette Video on the same topic.

Over the past two months, I’ve been studying fashion and refreshing my wardrobe and I’ve been receiving more compliments than ever. In just the past week, a barista, cashier, two visitors, and many friends have all commented on my outfits. I tell people that in the past two months, I’ve received more compliments on my style than the rest of my life combined.

In the past, I found it awkward to accept compliments; I would often cheapen or deflect them. Now, I’m embracing them. Compliments are a kind gesture and they make me feel great. And the best way to accept a compliment is a simple smile and a “thank you”.
