Hard to believe or not? Some people are unable to accept compliments.

Maybe because they're not used to getting them?

Well perhaps it could be...but not limited to gender and development.

I'm gonna vulnerable ' ize myself as an example. Based on my own experience in relation to your puzzlement.

Now...I matured physically quite young. As, not uniquely; as as females often do.

I was a full grow and developed woman at 13.. . 6' tall.

Now keep.in mind you could perhaps swap my own issue here with any...

But i say physically developed. Not mentally nor emotionally.

At 13...I began to attract attention.... directly in result of my physical appearance.

My sister and I both...as twins in public were a freak show. Mirror image twins. Tall af...female. Shapely.

We were approached quite often...grow men. Inuendo...suggestions...offers...drugs..rides...fame.... porn...sex. and lots and lots of

Compliments.

And lies. Tons and tons. Of lies.

At 13.

In public. In the day light.

The mall...the park...the 7 11..the library....i could continue..

So ...i find it a challenge to this day to hear a compliment. Talk really to anyone who approaches me in the blind.

I went from having a sister I loved spending time with...to doing so at home..school. We came to exist in different circles.

Found that singularity lessoned our atteaction of the curious...and allowed us to say focused on our selves and safty in plight of grow men with compliments as a way to break the spacial gap...not the one that separates adults from children.

I swear i am guilty of this. My heartbeat, My Soulmate, the Center of my world compliments me everyday and i always reply, "That's just how YOU see me!" Not even 5 minutes ago we went through this. Honestly, i think that when you love someone you look INTO them whereas everyone else is looking AT them. So he sees depth and not surface.

Maybe they spent most of their life being criticised, so when people say nice things they don’t know how to process it.
@Achelois

Exactly :(
I get so many that now I’m just like what ever, doesn’t mean anything anymore
I don't like the attention.
In certain situations/circles don't because the same person who compliments you is the same person who will put you down if you screw up
Some people aren't use to getting them

It can be both options one and two
@Prettybratbi1tch

Good point - there are now 3 choices max.

Maybe there are just jaded and miserable beings who dont appreciate people being nice.
@Zonuss

My first thought as to why some are like the way you described is because they had a rough upbringing.
I was lucky - my parents never hit me or said anything deeply hurtful to me.
