This is great advice! I feel like especially coming from an Asian household, we're told to be *really* modest and downplay everything because getting roasted is more normal than getting complimented. But not accepting compliments is almost like not accepting a gift -- a simple thanks is the best way to "finish the transaction" lol. Knowing our worth is here to stay 👏👏
YESSSS its totally an asian thing!! My friends and siblings do the exact same thing!! OoOoO IVE NEVER THOUGHT OF IT LIKE THAT, finishing the transaction
Love this topic! I feel YOU girl! Your video is spot on! I was always raised to be modest as well so it used to make me so uncomfortable when people would compliment me. It took a friend snapping at me after I was being awkward when she complimented me, and telling me that all I needed to do was say "Thank You" that literally snapped me out of it. It was the best advice and I realized it really is just that simple.
I get this so deep! My whole life I was torn down so when someone paid me a compliment I wondered what their agenda was! It took me many years to break through that stigma of being able to accept good about myself without the fear of looking self involved or disbelieving them! The one compliment I’d give myself is.. I honestly don’t give a f#%k what others think of me but I do appreciate and value those that think good of me!
Such an awesome video! And great points. We often are made to think that confidence is a bad thing, we're constantly told to be humble and we equate humility with self-loathing, we think tearing ourselves apart makes us endearing to others. And part of it is there's a societal tendency to try to cut anyone down to size who has "too much" self confidence, tall poppy syndrome, so many of us go really far the other way and think society wants us to have low opinions of ourselves.
I used to ALWAYS reject compliments! Then I noticed that it only made me feel sad that I never thought I was good enough, now I just say thank you and smile. It definitely also helps you think it yourself!
It's definitely tough to take compliments sometimes but if you're doing right in life they are going to come your way so just be ready. It's okay to hear our work doing good once and a while. Love the talk Sam.
I definitely relate to this! If someone compliments me, I usually respond with something self-deprecating to be “humble” but then a lot of people see that as lacking confidence. Number 1 is so true
I used to and still deflect when someone compliments me!! It’s like I have an automatic voice that rejects any positive feedback. I’m still working on changing this narrative at 31 years old!! This was such a well informed and guided video girl. Hmm…one positive thing I like about myself…my ability to show and give the love I never received growing up. Thank you for this 🙏🏾♥️ and Merry Christmas!! Xx Ash
Been on with this problem for alot of time, sometimes you just cant accept it or doesn't know how to accept the compliment someone gave to us! But we need to know our worth and how beautiful we really are! Thanks for this one Sam!❤
This is absolutely a great topic that all of us can relate. It’s so true that we tend to get awkward when someone is praising or complimenting us and we respond to it in a modest way. Awesome tips on how to handle compliments! Big like for a well prepared and presented video. Have a safe and blessed New Year 👍
You always have the best, most realistic topics to talk about!! I'm the worst at accepting them lol. Very true, others view you different. Your flaws or things you don't like, someone else might love about you. Smile and say thanks.. You would think is easy hahaha! Definitely easier said than done and I gotta work on. Love this video Sam!!
Good morning Sam I loved how you always uhhh being as good advice so for me I always enjoyed your channel because you are amazing Supporter that's why you are sweetheart and you are sweetheart because you are grateful
ahhah deep down i like to receive compliments, but at the same time i don't know how to respond, or if i do its just like an awkward "thanks". i think its just cuz growing up my parents would never really compliment more just say, "why arent you doing this..." also I'm not the best at giving compliments, i feel more comfortable giving gifts or acts of service to show someone i appreciate them, i guess that's just cuz how i was raised as well haha
"Are you sure?!" - Mhm.....can totally relate So true, we need to at the very least not reject the compliments :')....thank you 😌 Happy Holidays SAM!! ❤️❄️
Great video!! I think one positive thing that I like about myself is my smile. I used to like my teeth but some commented on one of my videos that I should get my big teeth professionally whitened and that would make me look better. And I was like thanks buddy. I have subscribed!!!
I always feel guilty like I have to quickly say a compliment right back and just sound awkward lol 😆 I love my long hair! 🥰 Merry Christmas to you and the fam. We wish you all safe and happy holiday 🎅🎄🧑🎄
