Shutterbug55 My friend is trying to help with complements. She will wait until I say yes, which takes away. I normally say I know, right? Sometimes I can’t tell it was complement. As for running into the bathroom, I have done that. One of my friends was impressed with my knitting skills, and that I could carry on a conversation. (Blame that on ADD) I stop and picked out a mistake to make me feel better. She just looked at me and told me she couldn’t see one.
Here are my tips:
1) Say thank you and think of something else.
2) Take a sec to process what just happen.
3) I look for the exit and think that is where I will probably go.
4) ignore the impulse to do just that (number 3)
5) Say to yourself it is just a moment and then it will be gone.
