If you think about it, so many people in this world don't know how to take a compliment and it would be hypocritical of me to say I wasn't one of those people. We all know how to give a compliment, but not receive-which contradicts everything bout human nature if you think about it. Time and time we are told that we are takers not givers; we'd rather take the last piece of chocolate cake than give it to someone else. So why is it when it comes to being complimented on your looks, smarts, or your home-made chocolate cake we awkwardly reject any nice comment? You know the situation-"Wow your hair looks lovely today!", "what no way it looks terrible, nothing compared to your hair honey!"
You could say people are fishing for compliments, by rejecting compliments to prompt more compliments. Or maybe they genuinely think their hair looks crap, or that they completely fail at maths, and it's all rather sad- that life or this modern world has turned us all into people who think only negative thoughts about ourselves, and refuse to believe anything else.
