The unfortunate complement to compliments

I have trouble taking compliments well. Half the time I still don’t know what to say, except maybe turn red and mutter, “uh, thanks.”

I think a lot of girls have this problem. Here are some common responses to a simple compliment.

Boy: Hey, you look really good today.

Girl: Hahahahahahaha! Yeah, RIGHT.

Girl: What do you mean today?

Girl: Why, how BAD do I normally look?

Girl: You haven’t put your contacts in yet, have you?

Girl: Could happen.

Girl: Who are you and what did you do with my real boyfriend?

Girl: Ok, what do you want?

In the case of parents:
1)Have you had your eyes checked lately?
2)Is something the matter?
3)What are trying to tell me?
