GĐXH - When responding to a compliment, people with low EQ are often arrogant and conceited, while people with high EQ will show cleverness.
According to Zhihu, to have good, long-lasting relationships, we need to have proper and appropriate behavior. For everyone, our behavior is a "measure" for them to evaluate whether you have low or high EQ.
People with high emotional intelligence rarely offend because they are very tactful in every word and action, even the way they respond to compliments shows that.
1. Respond with acceptance
If someone compliments you and you don't know how to respond, at least acknowledge it and thank them. You can say, "Thank you for the compliment."

2. Respond with courtesy
You can also respond politely when complimented, such as: "No, you flatter me. I'm still the same." or "Thank you, I just look better today because I'm wearing makeup!"...
3. Respond with sincerity
It is polite to accept compliments when they are given. Here is how you can show that you care about the compliment.
Not only that, the other person will feel your sincerity and tact through this welcoming attitude.
No matter who the compliment comes from, you should appreciate it. It is a "reward" for your tireless efforts over the past time.
4. Respond with humility
When others compliment you, you can choose humble words to respond to them. For example, when a leader or elder compliments you, you can say: "Thank you for the recognition.
Without your guidance, I would not have done the job well. I will learn more from you in the future."
If a co-worker compliments you, you can say that it was all their work. Or say, "Thanks, I had better luck this time than last time."
5. Respond by complimenting the other person
If you are an articulate person with a gift for speaking, you can also compliment the other person if you receive a compliment.
You should reply: "You are also someone that others admire" or "You are very good at speaking"...
In some cases, the purpose of others complimenting you is to receive similar compliments in return. So, if you also compliment the other person, it will make them feel very happy.

6. Respond with a joke
Many people are stunned when they hear compliments from others. However, people with high EQ will not be confused in this situation.
They may respond to compliments with playful jokes, such as: "I try so hard to hear such lovely compliments", "What golden words from a talented person, I can't hide my joy when I hear them"...
These words will remove the awkwardness you feel when hearing compliments from others. At the same time, it also brings a feeling of closeness and intimacy.
7. Reply by changing the subject
If someone compliments your talent but you know you are not that good, you do not need to focus on that topic but express your thoughts tactfully. Find another topic to talk about.
For example, if a colleague compliments you on your beautiful outfit, you can say: "Thanks for the compliment, do you like it? I bought this dress at store A, if you like it, can I take you there this weekend to buy it?". In this way, the subject has been changed very cleverly.
