compliments

A compliment is defined as "an expression of esteem, respect, affection, or admiration ; especially : an admiring remark "

I've never enjoyed receiving compliments. It leaves me without anything to say and the conversation turns awkward. I try telling people who compliment me often to not do it. I tell them to stop feeding the ego. I feel like when my ego is fed too often, I turn into some cocky bastard.This might not be true, I just can't shake the feeling.

The problem with when people compliment me, is I feel I have to compliment them back. Sigh. I usually don't know what to tell them either. Maybe this is just me being lame. I don't know. All I know is, try not to compliment me...As hard as that may be.:)
