Here is the gold standard response for when someone compliments you:

Thank you.

If you want to get really fancy, try this:

Thank you! I appreciate the compliment.

(Added bonus: smile 😊)

It’s like new shoes; sure it’s a little uncomfortable at first, but once you get used to them, it will feel like second nature.

Them: I like your shoes.

Me: Thank you!

Brain: That was really selfish of you to not notice and compliment them on something first. Pretty entitled of you to just accept their compliment like you know you deserve it. Do you even think of anyone other than yourself? You are such a self–absorbed attention whore and they know that now.
