Reddit user callmejari asked: 'What's the weirdest compliment you have received?'

Giving compliments is pretty easy, although most of us don't do it often enough.

Accepting compliments can be much harder.

Too many of us immediately shift into disclaimers to explain why we don't deserve the praise.
