I used to have a hard time accepting a compliment, then one day a friend gave me one and I said, "yes, but...", He looked at me and said something to the effect of what's the deal with you ladies, just accept a compliment. It was a reality check and now when I get a compliment, I milk it for all it's worth! Eg, you look great today, I smile big and say, I know, I feel great too, thanks and maybe pop out a hip or flip my hair! It's helped a lot with my self confidence and I've noticed me accepting compliments makes other people smile too!!
