20 Simple Social Skills That Will Make You Instantly More Likable

Know how to accept a compliment

Accepting a compliment can be tricky because you don’t want to seem egotistical.

But you also don’t want to mumble “Thanks, you too,” because that makes you seem self-conscious and socially inept.

So instead of saying phrases like, “You look 10 times better than me” or “It was all thanks to you,” Reisinger suggests accepting the compliment with confidence by using phrases like “Thanks! Hearing that feels really good” or “Thank you! What an amazing experience.”
