    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.

    Do I hate the answer-my-own-question format of explaining things? Passionately

    this reminds me of what i like about public voting… that one guy who upvoted my stupid comment that nobody else liked, two days after i made it… i go visit that guy’s profile and upvote a couple of his, or at least check out what that person is concerned about…

      that seems aweful. I don’t want someone to randomly upvote some of my stuff because I found something they put was up voteable. It should be more organic than that.

        somebody on the internet finds a reason to bitch about everything nice,. you are what is wrong with the world… for some of you little assholes, nothing is enough… good luck on your quest to get happiness out of the internet…

          um. ok then. it really did not upset me in a close to my heart effect me every day type of way. More I can’t believe people do this. I assume anyone upvoting me did it because they are part of the magazine and found what I said was upvotable regardless of if my handle posted it or any other. Im just not a fan of in clubs and popularity contests is all.

            i’m not starting popularity clubs… stop being fatuous and pretending to be idealistic, just for the sake of having an argument and looking slick on the internet… you’re full of shit…
