Whether you are an elder or a good friend whom you haven't seen for a long time, everyone will always praise each other when they meet: "You are beautiful again, you are handsome again, you look good in this dress, and your children are really good ...". In life, we will also receive praise from colleagues and leaders. If we don't answer properly in the face of compliments from others, it may cause discomfort to others. And some people feel uncomfortable when they are praised by others, and they don't know how to answer for a while. So how should we respond to these compliments?
In life, we will face different groups, face different groups, we will be praised differently, so our answers will be different.
In the face of praise from top to bottom:
Praise from top to bottom is often a kind of recognition, such as the leader: "You did a good job in xxx this time!" " "This is recognition of your ability to work. The elder's: "You are a good boy" is the recognition of character. So how should we deal with it? Just add "thank you" and "express your will". For example: "Thank you xxx, I will continue to work hard/I will always insist! " "
Facing the praise of peers:
"You did well in the exam this time!" "You are really something." Peer praise is often a compliment to a certain ability, so we need a "thank you" and "reason" response to peer praise. For example, the expression "Thank you, it took me a long time to do this/I actually learned it before …" is modest and won't make the other person feel proud or arrogant.
Facing the praise of the younger generation:
"Senior, you are excellent" and "Sister X, you are very capable", facing the praise of the younger generation. Our response should be "reason" plus "expectation". For example, "I have been in this business for many years and have experience. Come on, you can, too. "
We should also pay attention to other people's emotions when facing other people's compliments.
For example, when a classmate fails in the exam and congratulates you on passing the exam, we should not show too much joy, but consider other people's emotions and give them encouragement. For example, when talking about the relationship between husband and wife, when others say that you and your wife look really happy, maybe her own relationship is not that good. At this time, it is not appropriate to over-express that the relationship between husband and wife is very harmonious. Don't deny it. Just smile and say thank you.
Generally speaking, we don't need to overreact or deny other people's compliments. No matter what occasion, it is most important to answer sincerely, which contains a kind heart and consideration for others.
Sharing these ways to respond to others' compliments is not to please others. Only in the face of other people's kind praise, should we return in good faith, which is conducive to the long-term good maintenance of the relationship. These are just some common coping styles in life, and there are different coping styles in other different occasions. Language communication contains a lot of knowledge, which needs us to explore little by little in our life.
