Can you handle it?

How do you react to compliments?

I know it's a strange question, but I honestly have a hard time listening to a string of compliments. I tend to get uncomfortable. In fact, I prefer being behind the scenes, allowing others to shine in the spotlight.

I'm perfectly content being hidden from view.

A couple of incidents happened this week that caused me to reflect on my own behavior. Instead of trying to become invisible, I think I'll simply say, "Thanks!" and smile instead of immediately changing the subject.

Sounds like a plan, eh?
