Toph,
It took me ages to learn to simply say "thank you" to a compliment.
When I compliment someone and they stand there, awkward and blushing, I will often say, just say thank you, that's all you need to say.
Giving someone a compliment is a form of kindness. It's not necessary, it's not obligatory, it doesn't pay. It's just kindness. So thanking a person for a compliment is not anything - to me - but a thank you for the kindness they are showing. Whether or not I do look fabulous or whatever they are complimenting is worthy of a compliment is inconsequential.
((((Toph))))
