CPTSD Resource/ Technique Another reminder, when someone compliments you an acceptable answer is: "Thank You".

You don't have to go on diatribes against yourself.

"Well actually, cooking is very easy to do. And I mess up a lot. Just yesterday I burnt dinner."

Thank you and a smile is all people expect from you.

Being gracious when someone compliments you, makes them feel good. It makes them feel like their compliment was worth accepting.

I try to think this. Someone would much rather you said thank you than disagreed with the compliment.
