i think that compliments are very tricky things.. ideally they are meant to encourage and support correct behavior, but often they are used as manipulative tools by unhealthy individuals.. and then there is the fear (as you said) of 'feeling like a god' .. we are all worthy of encouragement and kind thoughts.. if one is given you, it is extended in the hope of encouraging a certain behavior.. dont let yourself be manipulated, but if the compliment feels sincere and true, wear it for all its worth.. you deserve to feel good...
