Why do i get flustered by compliments if i'm an egoistic prick?

It isn't that I disagree with some compliments, I agree with a few of them. Some compliments I dont care about and dismiss them. But the ones that really matter to me, I get flustered. There are even a few rare compliments that I envision people shooting me with them. You would think by mentally playing out the scenario that I would get a little prepared to react or respond to them. But nope.

So when I get such a compliment that I don't dismiss, whether I expected it or not it doesn't matter. My mind shuts down, I dont say anything and lower my gaze. Believe it or not I would actually be much more comfortable if someone insulted me than give me a compliment!

What makes it worse is I'm a 26-yo dude. I even consider myself to be narcissistic and egoistic. So why the heck am I unable to handle compliments? Wtf

        Nope. Because he intentionally said it to fluster me, or was being sarcastic.

        EVERY COMPLIMENT ON THIS THREAD FROM HERE ON OUT WILL HAVE 0 VALUE AND BE QUARANTINED

    Because men are conditioned to not show emotion and to be the 'chasers' and women, 'the chased'. It takes an emotional connection on some level with the person giving the compliment if you recognize it and thank them, or something similar. Shrugging it off is the "manly" thing to do.

      I'm incapable of doing that. It's like how some people can roll their tongue and some cant.

    If anything you sound like an insecure person with a fear of intimacy.

      What the hell? Haha. How did you arrive at that from what I said? I don't think I'm insecure, maybe insecure about a few things while in general I'm not, but you're dead-on about intimacy.
