How do u deal with attention and compliments?

Some ppl thrive on having their ego stroked and sometimes it feels good when ur down. Personally, I try and treat all ppl with kindness and respect! Well...it is my goal anyway! Lol! Some ppl give others negative responses. That's pretty silly since they could've easily been nasty towards u! I try never to take anything too personally! Especially if I don't know the flatterer! Lol!
