Hi guys and girls, it's Ruth here
and today I just want to talk about how to accept a compliment
it really really annoys me, people who don't know how to take a compliment
and it happens that people do it wrongly more than they do it right
the most common reaction that I get when I give a compliment is this
oh Betty your hair looks lovely today
oh what? oh this? oh no no no it doesn't, your hair looks so much nicer than my hair
Excuse me?
What did you just do there?
Did you pay me a compliment? Or... But... What just happened?
Like I didn't pay you a compliment so that you could pay me a compliment
does that mean when I say something next that I have to pay you a compliment?
like coz otherwise that'll just be going on and on in like a compliment-compliment circle
forever
and I can't be dealing with that
like I have things to do
and I don't give compliments that often
I don't want to hear that, it's like attention seeking or something it's like 'oh no I don't
look nice'
well it's like yes you do, that's why I said it- accept it
the other very common reaction to compliments is this
oh Linda, your hair's so lovely today
oh my hair? Yes it is isn't it? I just got it done at the hairdresser's this morning
and it cost a fortune
you had to book a year in advance before you could make an appointment and I managed to
get in and I got it done and isn't it beautiful and aren't I gorgeous
alright, you can accept a compliment like that but when I hear that, I'm thinking in
my head 'ah, this b*tch loves herself,' I'm never giving her a compliment ever again,
she doesn't need them
like she obviously hears compliments all the time and is just like loving it and loves
herself like
I'm just sitting there thinking 'ah smug b*tch'
showing off
ladies and gentlemen, this is how you accept a compliment
your hair looks nice today
thank you
how hard is that?
how difficult is that?
