The People vs. Deflecting ComplimentsWhy trying to be humble can make you seem rude.

Learn the social skill of gracefully accepting praise. We put the habit of brushing off compliments on trial, exploring why this common act of 'humility' often creates awkwardness and dismisses the person praising you. While it can feel uncomfortable to be the center of attention, a simple 'thank you' shows respect for both the giver and yourself. It's a small change that can improve your social interactions.
