Has anyone ever told you that . . .

• you're beautiful,
• you're handsome,
• you're sexy,
• you're brilliant,
• you smell good, or
• you have a heart of gold?

These are just a few of the many compliments people give one another on a daily basis. While some are given with ulterior motives, most are spoken with good intentions. Nevertheless, unexpected complements can put you on the spot and leave you wondering what to say next.

The list below exists to give you some ideas on how to incorporate some fun and wit into your replies to compliments. A simple "thank you" used to be acceptable, but these days, "simple" doesn't always cut it. If you're looking to crank up your clever meter, you're in luck—this list is here to help you out!

Warning: Sarcasm Ahead—Use These Replies at Your Own Risk

You can feel free to use any of the replies found here, but please—do so with caution. Some of these may come off as rude or offensive depending on how you say them, who you say them to, or what the context is. Always be gracious and kind whenever you can, and know that you're better than any compliment in the world.

How to Respond to a Compliment

No matter what you end up saying in response to someone giving you a compliment, there are a few steps you should typically follow so that you don't make the situation weird or awkward.

1. Be direct: Try to avoid any vocal fillers like uh or um; just say what you want to say clearly and directly.
2. Make eye contact: Look directly at the person giving you the compliment and make eye contact when you speak to them. (Obviously, this doesn't apply if you are talking to someone on social media or elsewhere online).
3. Be confident: Speak in a confident manner when responding to a compliment and make it seem as if you get compliments all of the time. Being confident is good for your own self-worth, and acting surprised or awkward could make the other person feel uncomfortable.

I'm sorry, I couldn't quite hear you . . . could you please say that again?

How to Respond to Compliments on Instagram or Facebook

Whether it is a compliment on a photo of you on Instagram or a status you posted on Facebook, online compliments tend to be shorter than those given real life. For this reason, your response can also be quick and short, though you can include an emoji or two if you want. Try the following:

• Say thanks: Replying with a simple "thank you!" is good enough for most online interactions, especially if you are getting lots of praise for a particular post.
• Use an emoji: Using an emoji is a great way to spice up a reply to a compliment. You can use an emoji if you decide to say something clever so people know that you're being witty.
• Keep it short: There is no need to write out some long response to a compliment, though you can personalize the compliment if you want. People have short attention spans these days, so keeping the content of your reply short is a good idea.
