I'm terrible at taking compliments. I've been hitting the gym consistently for some time now and I'm making/seeing some great progress (21M, 6'1, 195lbs down from 240lbs). However, when people ask if I've been hitting the gym, I'll usually ignore or say not really. Recently one of my newer plates was feeling my arms and asked if I workout and I lied. I guess I want people to think it comes natural, rather than know how much effort I put with diet, lifting and discipline. If someone just says I'm starting to look good, I'll say thanks and leave it there - which is huge since in the past I would actually try to not accept the compliment. So, how do you guys handle those questions and take compliments? Defo not a humble brag as I still have a long way to go on my improvement.
