I remember when I was beginning my journey as a monk and I would receive compliments all the time. I thought it was so weird and it made me feel uncomfortable. I was not confident in my abilities, especially when it came to public speaking. When I would read at one of our prayers, my brother monks would always compliment me. I would never say thank you and just accept it, I would just say stuff like, oh yeah I really enjoyed that reading I was really into it. Or I'd say, yeah must have been a fluke I'm not really good at public speaking. I started to realize over time how negative I was and what I truly thought of myself. I was told by an old wise monk that I needed to start accepting compliments and move on. Say thank you when someone says something nice to you and don't say anything else and truly receive a compliment.  https://MonkMindset.com
