Hey guys,
this might be really a stupid question/problem, but it is there.
I play guitar (I used to have classical guit. concerts in front of 400 ppl audiences), piano and I speak 4 foreign languages and I am master class level of salsa dancing. From my environmental background (long story) it is said, that if you get a compliment, you should be polite and deny it, or try to somehow make it sound less a big deal than people are actually making out of it. I am kind of fucking fixed on this stupid thing and dont know how to react once I get an admiration, from a girl, or from anyone. I go red and look into the ground.
It drives me angry, because I know, that this something I can leverage on in my game, but there is this STUPID barrier, that always makes me feel vulnerable and "naked", once I get a compliment.
At the same time, it is one of the things that helped me move forward, since I always wanted to make a good impression on people. I did all of this because I liked it, but at the same time I was looking forward to all the admiration I will get once I will show up. On the other hand, once they start to do that, there is something in me, that pulls me backwards. God knows, maybe I need a shrink
So once you get a compliment, what do you say? What do you do?
"Oh, you are such an amazing dancer!"
or like
"Oh, you must have worked hard to acquire this bla bla bla."
I´m always like...well...yeah..I took a lot of courses and shit. Or..well you know, it was not that difficult, I liked it.
What do you guys think?
