How many times have we all been paid a compliment and hurriedly brushed it off or been uncertain how to respond? This is something that I’ve experienced a lot and I’m surely not the only one. There’s a natural apprehension about looking "arrogant" by accepting the remark and it’s easy to find yourself compensating by going too far the other way and pointing out things you’re less thrilled about.
This can often occur when the compliment concerns our appearance and A Place In The Sun star Jasmine Harman has just asked a very valid question - why? Why is this the case for so many?
