I used to be overweight and as a result, even when I am thin now, I still found it difficult to accept people's compliment on my appearance or what I've done well. I have notice people are get surprised when I start to run my self down after their compliment but I just couldn't take a compliment without reply something negative about myself. Help.
@zhjuan,
Hello zhjuan,
congratulations on your weight loss!
If people compliment you just say "Thank You!" - nothing more is needed.

just smile and say thank you.
@zhjuan,
I am also thin (and used to be very overweight). When people tell me, "You look great!" I always try to respond, "So do you!"
Stumble It!
