    A word of advice. Either compliment them back or better simply say Thank you. Thank you is the best responce to a compliment.

      Was going to say the same.

      I used to be bad at giving and accepting compliments. Thanks or Oh, thank you. That’s my goto response.

      Sometimes, depending on the compliment, I might tell a story about the thing I’m being complimented on.

      You’re a good dancer.

      Oh thanks! I started practicing in my 20s but I didn’t learn to let go and really enjoy it until my 40s.

      Well it shows!

      Thanks!

      It was hammered into me during childhood that thank you is the only polite response to a compliment.

      I still think it’s rude not to say it. And I absolutely hate it when people say “I know.”
