Quick disclaimer, today is NOT my birthday. If it had been, I never would have told you. Because I deplore birthday wishes. I can’t volley your “Happy Birthday” with “No, Happy Birthday to YOU!” or, “We really should be having a party for my mom.” maybe I could try “Did you know Delores’s birthday is tomorrow?” I have a similar issue with compliments. I love giving compliments, but accepting a compliment takes focus. And this is the challenge today. To accept a compliment without apology. Because it’s not arrogant to be grateful.
What’s your typical response to a compliment?
