Why is accepting compliments so hard?

It seems straightforward. You say, "thank you" and move on. But we all know that's not what happens. There are deflections, denials, awkwardness and all kinds of weird feelings that come up when someone compliments us. 

Even more odd, when we compliment someone else we want them to accept it and feel good about it.

I asked Rick Alcantara, Cole Galloway and David Horsewood about compliments. The conversation was like accepting compliments - a little tangled. 

Take a listen and then let us know your thoughts on why accepting compliments is so challenging.
