Only when someone else tells me that someone else complimented my cooking, or really enjoyed my company, or thought I was clever or interesting. I feel awkward when someone compliments me in person. Some people are just too easy with their flattery and flatter everyone, and the motive is usually to be liked or fish for compliments, and so its not sincere. And some people rarely flatter but can make it feel awkward. Especially if you feel it wasn’t worthy of a compliment. Like at thanksgiving I met some new friends of my daughter. She said they really like my husband and myself and kept going on and on about different things they likes about us. We had fun joking around and even touched on some sensitive subjects, like faith. What it really came down too was how different we were from his family but they liked that we are open minded. It seems his folks are the kind to not like their ideas challenged. So I liked that.
But had they said it to my face, I may have felt slightly uncomfortable. Compliments always make me feel like I was under a microscope.
