So, although Im not that good at it, here is what I have practiced for many years which has helped make it a little easier. When someone slings a comment at me,
I.... take...a...deep...breath...in.... and inhale that compliment into my heart....feel it fill my heart and try to believe it. Trust that the person saying it, means it.
Yes, its still uncomfortable, but it has helped.

Thanks! To clarify I don't have a problem believing the compliment, that's the strange quirk, it just makes me uncomfortable to be the centre of attention.
I will try the breathing in thing though.
