Yes, so what - if it works for you, that's the only important thing, and I see nothing naïve in that world view. Although there are many alternatives to the two versions here. I try to keep in mind that compliments are more about the speaker's view and belief of who I am than who I actually am, and so in a sense I can both accept and question them.
