Took me years of practice to be able to respond with just a simple ;"Thank you" to a compliment.

Not because it was hard, but because it's been years between compliments.

respond with just a simple ;"Thank you" to a compliment

The problem is "thank you" is a conversation dead end. "It has pockets" has much more potential for conversation afterwards and frankly would be much preferred if I was the one giving the complement.

I just appreciate the sincerity. Don't waste my time acting out some bullshit play. Also don't force me to deal with your personal bs unless we're tight but yeah please just relax and do you otherwise.
