To counteract this, I usually accept it right away and move on. But then I feel weird. Like, should I compliment back? It now feels weird that the compliment was over so fast. I don’t think there’s a good way to accept a compliment.
I think it all depends on the sincerity and scale of the compliment. If someone just offhandedly says that your shoes are cool, it’s ok to just say thanks and move on. But if someone makes a specific compliment on something close to you, like pointing out a part of your project they like, it might be more appropriate to talk about choices you made, how it was done etc.
