Why do compliments make you cringe?

It's totally normal to feel a bit awkward when someone gives you a compliment. It can really put a spotlight on our insecurities that we’d rather keep to ourselves.

The discomfort often happens because there’s a clash between how we see ourselves and how others view us. If you struggle with low self-esteem, accepting a compliment can be tough because you might feel like you don’t deserve it, which can make you suspicious of the compliment itself.

Your culture may also play a big part in how we handle compliments. In some cultures, being modest is a big deal, so it can feel like boasting (mayabang) to just accept a compliment. But learning to take a compliment isn’t about being arrogant, it’s just about recognizing your own worth.
