Know what you mean. I guess most of the compliments are truly said, that’s why I politely accept them.
Those who only want to please our ears for hidden intentions are the exceptions.

I do it unconsciously. I reject any positive said about me not because I think the person is lying, most of the time, I only think they got wrong in their judgement. It’s like I would like to be in the mud. As I didn’t deserve it.
