How do you feel when someone gives you feedback?

How often do you get feedback? And how do you respond to praise? Do you get embarrassed? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you respond with a don't be silly attitude?

Well you're not alone. Many people ate uncomfortable when they receive compliments particularly when they are unexpected. I'm speaking from a British point of view of course. So you may be wondering what on earth I'm talking about. I'm curious about other nationalities so do let me know your experience of receiving feedback.

So what causes you to choose to feel surprised or uncomfortable when someone gives you praise about something you have done? Are you not proud of what you have done? Do you not value your own efforts? Someone else does and by rejecting their comment you are saying that their opinions are not valuable.

The next time you get some praise accept it graciously, plump up your chest and feel good about yourself.

Enjoy the process of life,
