How do you react when people compliment you?

Personally, I don’t like getting compliments because I don’t know how to respond to them and I think it’s sort of awkward if you don’t say something nice back to them. Wouldn’t you feel bad if you didn’t say something nice back to the person? Even if you lied or just made something up off the top of your head…

But when I do get a compliment i’ll say thanks and then it’s just awkward after that. So, basically what I’m asking is how you react to people when they compliment you.
