- A lot of us have trouble accepting compliments. We're worried that it will make us seem self-absorbed, or we just don't believe that what the person is saying is true. But studies show that accepting compliments doesn't just help you, it also helps your relationship - so we brought in real couples to prove it.

You're looking good through your computer screen today.
Haha awww that's cute :)
DrunkenRampage My eyebrows have strays I have leftover eyeliner and bags under my eyes. I accept your compliment :)
DrunkenRampage really cute
thank you :)
I'm blushing
I am in tears and I realized how lucky I am that my husband is not ashamed of showering me with compliments. I will learn how to accept it with open heart =) thank you soul pancake.
I always feel like I'm being a creepy weirdo by giving compliments, like I'm wasting people's times but I've realized that that's not the case most of the time.. I've been told I've made people's day's with a simple compliment and I think that's the greatest feeling! It's always good to take the risk because someone could really need it.
Fluffy Jimin I feel the same way but I compliment strangers occasionally anyway, especially if they look a bit down.
Recently I read how elderly people are virtually invisible in public, how it makes them feel isolated, so I try to be aware of them and give them a compliment when warranted, and always a smile if I can catch their eye. I frequently get a return smile, some so lively it makes me immediately picture how jaunty they were in their youth.
Every time I see one of these it leaves me feeling warm and fuzzy. We should all try to tell our loved ones the things we appreciate about them more often!
Ash Acting Up I feel like you have a good heart and is a good person!
not too often tho
My girls are 12 and 7 years old. I teach them to only say thank you when someone compliments them. I love to give compliments to complete strangers. I decided years ago, that if see someone and a compliment comes to mind (like, She has a beautiful smile.) I must tell them. You never know... they might NEED to hear it! Plus it makes me feel good... as if i'm giving a little happiness.
I ALWAYS CRY!!!! ALWAYS!!!!
Freaking spot on, as always!
I can affirm that accepting compliments boosts self esteem. About two years ago I stopped qualifying compliments and said simply, "Thank you," just liked described here. It's AMAZING how much of a difference it's made. When I don't tell myself that I don't deserve the compliment through qualifying it, my subconscious actually has started to believe it.
I'm totally doing this with my man and hashtagging!!
Awwww man this is great, this is really freaking great
owlcraze99 We think you're pretty great too. Thanks for watching!
You're crying too right? :(
I think you have a very good taste and nice way of writing
I am definitely a person who has a really hard tell accepting compliments... this makes me feel like I just have to accept them and also believe in them
Oh, really? But, you're actually very beautiful! I mean it, you're a gorgeous girl :)
I just got her reaction. She said she got extremely happy with my attitude and that I'm so precious and more, that I mean a lot to her. Those words made me so happy. I can cry.
Don't mind me, just sitting in a puddle of my tears.
Awww this is beautiful. My boyfriend showers me with lots of compliments each day, and I always deflect him. Though I feel so special and unique everytime, I thought it would be arrogant on my part to unambiguously accept them.
Thanks to this video for making me realise the power of accepting compliments.
Blushed when Julian complimented the viewers as "classy audience"! >
I think it's really interesting seeing how different people reacted to this excessive and what it revealed about their personalities and relationships. Beautiful
I hate compliments. I suffer from social anxiety and BDD so they always seem like sick jokes.
+Des Then you should watch the video and see how accepting compliments will help your social anxiety and BDD
***** I always say thank you to be polite obviously, but that doesnt mean I like them. I rather not get compliments on my appearance. Compliments on my achievements are fine though.
tigerlily same 😂
I hate compliments too, although i do not suffer from social anxiety, i thought i was the only person who hated compliments, it is reassuring to know that I am not the only one.
noversibirsk why don’t y’all like complement
I don't like it when people brush off a complement... I like being genuine when people complement me. i love complements! they make my day!
Well, I do think you are beautiful!
Hope I made your day... (;
thank you! that did make it! 💖
Aw your awesome!
***** I was trying to word this in a way others would understand I think you did it best. :)
It's true when someone doesn't respond to said complaint it's most likely they don't feel that way. So think of yourself as that part of them that is telling them that. They are beautiful or nice or kind and your there just reminding them of that. :) They'll thank you in some way.
Thank you for always making encouraging videos. It's refreshing to see this on CZcams every once in a while. :)
I am not sure why it made me cry. This is beautiful
Not as beautiful as you ;)
I really like this psychological science, if I was born with any self confidence it has dissolved over the years of my life. This brings me great hope in myself, to accept the positive things around me and try to not pry it away as if I do not meet up with the kind words or deserve them.
I will definitely make a video response to this video. Even though I'm not in a relationship nor have ever been in one, I find the series so valuable especially for my relationships with friends. I always doubt myself and have low self-esteem so I will try to accept more compliments when they come my way instead of dismissing them. Thank you Julian and Science of Love team! :D
I do this with my students on a weekly basis. I call it "Acknoledgment day". When given a choice of a reward, they would rather do this than free time, treats or a movie. There have been many hugs and tears of joy in my classroom because of this. I had a troubled student go from all "F"s to All "B's" and "A's". When the principal asked him why he decided to make the change he said, "I didn't know people liked me until the day it was my turn to be acknowledged."
This inspires me to compliment my friends more. Not fluffy and fake to be nice, but real true honest complement about what I see in them and how they help me.
Wow this video has made me cry! Touching to see genuine compliments being payed to loved ones to show them how much we appreciate them
I cry every time I watch The Science of Love because it warms my heart seeing so much positivity from everyone. That and I'm just overly emotional lol.
This was great! Now I want to say thank you so much to the entire team of Soul Pancake and especially these series, they are by far my favourite!! Thank you Julian for hosting, you never fail to make me grin at my computer screen like an idiot and thank you to the writers who put so much effort and dedication to their work! And to everyone else who makes this all manageable, I've come to appreciate so much more in life because of you guys!
I love the Science of Love videos so much. I like how it takes basic parts of human relationships that are so obvious, they're taken for granted, and puts them into a perspective that is so simple and clear to understand. It really makes stop and think about your relationships with people.
I really enjoy watching the science of love. It reminds me to appreciate all the people in my life, and the reason I say "hi" to random people I pass on the street
Thank you for making videos/ social experiments like this!!! Inspirational. *new fave youtube channel found*
+Len Magarao You're welcome! We love getting such positive and inspiring feedback! If you loved this, check out The Science of Happiness: bit.ly/1hdH9XP
Thank you SoulPancake Team for making this video, it is so important that we learn to accept compliments and try to see the truth in them. I feel like so many younger people are told "You're selfish, you're too self centered," ect. As an example I've even had someone say to me that "you have too much self confidence." Comments like these can get you down and make it difficult to accept positive feedback from others because most people don't want to be seen as conceited. Ya'll are doing an absolutely wonderful job with this series, keep up the good work!
Noooo, it doesn't have to be limited to people you know! One of my favorite things to do is to compliment random people. It's so much fun seeing how surprised people are and to watch an involuntary smile creep across their faces! And the best part is, 99 out of 100 times they'll completely accept it with a simple "Thank you" and you never have to worry about them giving those excuses that invalidate the compliment. And it just makes people happier!! So go give strangers compliments people! It'll make someones day, I promise :)
Thank you for showing me that i'm doing it right by doing so. Watching this video increased my self esteem. I definetly thank you for putting that much affort into those things. I appreciate youre work very much. I learned to open my heart for the world again last autumn and i think that i was able to enstrenghten all of my valuable friendships after that. Accepting compliments is a hard step for a lot of people.
I feel a new security and i feel more valueable than ever before in my life, and i am what i feel now. Thank you again - you helped me a little bit to improve myself and some people around me.
I will always share the Science of Love and Science of Happiness videos as much as I can because they are phenomenal and I think they can help everyone with their relationships of all types, self awareness, and joy. Please continue to make these as long as there are things to improve on internally and interpersonally. These always make my day and I believe that they can really help people.
I love all of these 'science of' videos... I'm an ESL teacher in Korea, and often use these videos with my adult classes. They always garner really fantastic discussions and responses among my students. Thank you SP, you rock
This is the main reason why we feel confident to ourselves because of those people who loves us and reminds us on how capable we are of doing things.
I wish some randon person would give me a compliment about myself, it would probably make my day
You're beautiful \(^o^)/
DumbleDora TheExplora thanks
chris ce Im a guy ....lol
You will still totally rock, in bed with chris ce
That's a very fun thought - I will try to do that to people I meet. Thank you for inspiring me to do that! You seem like a cool person!
I think I am falling more and more in love with Julian (the host) he presents himself with so much confidence with every single word he says! He makes me feel like a smarty pants after each episode of The Science of Love :) I also want to compliment the team production, you are all amazing people. You are teaching knowledge and that in really powerfull!!
I absolutely love Soulpancake!!! #thescienceoflove is my favorite videos!! Thank you guys!!
Honestly, you guys make the best content. This was so beautiful to watch!
+ThatGirlSaadiyaTV Thank you for watching our videos. We appreciate your support!
Soulpancake always turns my sad tears into happy tears
Nothing more soul filling then a GENUINE, spontaneous and accepted compliment. One of the greatest exchanges two people can share.
This is something I'm really dealing right now...why is it so hard to accept compliments from someone that loves you...validating and respecting his thoughts...I never thought it that way...so THANK YOU :) you let me thinking.
Awww, I felt shy for them! :)
When i feel alone i always come back to this video, because i hope that one day I have a loved one that compliments me.
This is one of my absolute favorite videos, it’s changed how I accept compliments. I’ve shared this with so many people!
SoulPancake you're are one of my favorite CZcams channel, your channel always brings positivity and a smile to my face.
The videos SoulPancake posts are amazing. I try to share with all my friends. To bring their inner self out to themselves. Love to see them grow inside. I'd love to know more about all the studies. Plus tests, I want to do mayn't of these in my town
Thank you very much for explaining this to me, I now feel I can freely accept and embrace compliments without much of a stress. Oh I am doing this with my boyfriend everyday, and I think I am allowing him to be happier.
The Science of Love series is the reason I subscribe to Soul Pancake (well, and Kid President lol)
Thank you Soul Pancake! I'm so grateful for a world full of love!
I love this so much. I feel like giving random people in the hallway I don't know, compliments and see what they say
Awesome video and great series! I've been following from day one and every time it is amazing and inspiring. Keep them coming, Thank you!
This comes to mind while watching this video.... I was at a restaurant and went to the restroom and honestly by that age I was my self esteem was so low. (Still kinda is but eh) and so I washed my hands but when I turn around I am met with this older lady in a wheel chair. And she just gives me the biggest smile ana says, "You're such a beautiful young lady." and it caught me so off guard tbh. I felt a huge smile on my face while I stuttered out a thank you. Needless to say, I was so happy for the rest of the day. Just by that one compliment. I'm honestly grateful to that elderly lady for it. Idk it made my day.
I'm actually sobbing someone send help this makes me so happy
I love love love these videos! You guys at SoulPancake never fail to make me smile!
it’s 2022 and i’m watching this video 8 years after it released and i think people should still practice this exercise not just in romantic relationships but with platonic and their family members as well. with social media arising more people have a difficulty with their self esteem and comparing themselves, their lives, and also relationships.
Thank you, Julian and everybody in the show... You guys make a beutiful work! thanks you!
I love this series. So glad you guys made it!
Wonderful to see POSITIVITY PASSED ON!!! NICE WORK SoulPancake!!!
I loooove this series! Please keep on with all the amazing work!! I'm always left with a heart full of gratitude and a smile. Lovely way to end the night :)
Beautiful video. Love the scientific back up! This definitely needs to be spread around more! Great work :) Brought a huge smile on my face when I saw how these people took the compliments and explained how it made them feel. Love the honesty and the rawness of the emotions.
(note: you are only allowed to say "Thank you" in response to this comment)
You are beyond beautiful and I wish you the very best in life! Have a wonderful day, because you deserve it

Once again I'm moved by your videos. I truly apply much of what I see and learn in your videos with my wife, my children and my life in general. Great messaging and it never fails to put a smile on my face and even an occasional tear in my eye. Keep 'em coming.
Great concept and we don't get or do enough of this... a wonderful way to change a negative world or mind set.
Soul Pancake just keep getting better and better
That was the most beautiful thing I saw in a very long time. Thank you
I MISS THIS SERIES
dixy pixy i
When random people just tell me that I have pretty hair, I say thanks and I just think they're weird, but now I see that they're just being nice. This video is great :)
This video really has helped me out because I do feel uncomfortable accepting compliments a lot of the time. I really appreciate this video. :)
The Science of Love series is one of our favorites! Love this video.
I just love this series! I forget sometimes to really accept what my partner says about me, because its sometimes hard to believe it. He truly is a dream come true.
I really enjoyed this... makes me feel better about the compliments I periodically recieve. Great video!

Thank you soulpancake for another wonderful, thought-provoking video
I'm obsessed with this series. And Julian 😍
Once my friend told me that my skin looked really nice and that it had a "healthy glow." It really made my day because I used to have really bad acne, to the point where I'd do anything I could to cover up my face or not leave because I was so embarrassed by it. He's only known me since I cleared it up (with medication), and it really made me so happy because I never thought I'd be at a place where people would actually compliment me for my skin. I had always had nothing but problems but he genuinely thought my skin looked nice. It was the simplest compliment but it made me feel so good about myself
hey guy,
that was literally sensational. I needed it. I appreciate that.
This is really great. Wonderful.
This is my favorite series! I can't wait to try this!
Speaks volume! Thank you :)
That videos are so nice. They always make me cry fulled with good emotions.
Guys, your videos are really awesome. Please put out more !!! Faster !!!! Can't wait to see more.....
these segments are always good!
knowing how to compliment other people makes one well liked...
This made my day. Thank you for this!
I love you and your videos, they make me so cheery and positive :) Thank you for that.
I love this! Thank you!
I wish you guys made more of the science of love and happiness. I love love love these videos!
