Some people don't know how to take a compliment, they feel they don't deserve them.
-
Because it is hard for some people to accept that something they have you admire. Also they don't want to feel obligated to give one back so they deny the initial compliment.

While it's true that some people are rude, I've learned in my psychology classes that most people who cannot take compliments are insecure with themselves and do not believe in what you are complimenting them on. I do believe that people are just plain rude and they do not give a shit what you say to them. But thats just my opinion:)

Many of us get uncomfortable with positive feedback... there are a variety of psychological factors rooted in our past and conditioning which account for this. For example: - We dislike egotists: people who "toot their own horn". Because we dislike them, many of us swing to the opposite extreme, and put on a show of humility to avoid being thought egotistical... "oh, no it's just little old me, I'm nobody special" is used to deflect the APPEARANCE of basking in praise -- it doesn't mean we don't really like praise, but we're uncomfortable with the appearance that we crave it or need it, because of the taboo regarding egotism. - Some people really do have just pretty low self-esteem all around, and a compliment sounds like some sort of manipulation to them. They can't imagine the compliment is sincere, so they deflect the perceived flattery in some way. There are other less popular mechanisms, but these are the most common.

MOST PEOPLE (ESPECIALLY STRANGERS) that I compliment DO say "THANK YOU" Im one of the fortunate ones I guess.

Personally i do say thankyou, and am pleased that the compliment has been paid . BUT here goes, I often think that the person may just be being kind and cannot possibly mean what they have said . Although i am still pleased that they have been kind enough to have said it in the first place. Whatever reason it normally gives a boost

It has taken me a long time to learn just to say thank you. I was taught not to be "proud", and I was also taught that I didn't have a lot to be proud about. But now that I know that I have worth in Christ, and it is not being proud to say thanks, I do.

We have been taught to be modest; not to brag. It is hard to just say thanks.
