Just give a quick “oh, thank you” in a pleasant, surprised tone. Comes off as gracious, but not conceited. Unless it’s something you can’t help, then it’s more charming if you act like it’s a skill in a cheeky way. I.e “wow you’re tall”
“Thanks I’ve been working on it”
It’s worth noting, you’ll come off as more awkward if you try to fire back a compliment yourself. It came organically to them, and isn’t necessary to mirror, unless you feel like they’re fishing.

That was really well said!
A word of advice. Either compliment them back or better simply say Thank you. Thank you is the best responce to a compliment.

haha
Was going to say the same.
I used to be bad at giving and accepting compliments. Thanks or Oh, thank you. That’s my goto response.
Sometimes, depending on the compliment, I might tell a story about the thing I’m being complimented on.
You’re a good dancer.
Oh thanks! I started practicing in my 20s but I didn’t learn to let go and really enjoy it until my 40s.
Well it shows!
Thanks!
It was hammered into me during childhood that thank you is the only polite response to a compliment.
I still think it’s rude not to say it. And I absolutely hate it when people say “I know.”
Do I hate the answer-my-own-question format of explaining things? Passionately
I totally relate to this meme.

Brace yourselves…
You are both good people and the world is better off with you in it! 🥰
I just assume everyone hates me and go about my day based on that.
Fuck you.
See?
Wish I could be this cool
I generally enjoy your posts and comments :)
Thank you. Although much like the shitpost, I’m now going to spend the rest of the day wondering if that’s a real compliment.
Well I did qualify it with generally lol
Giving complements feels better than getting them.
Not for me. Both are bad.
Impressive!
I can’t handle that.
Great post. Sorry to bother you
