The situation
Someone gave you a genuine compliment — about your work, your character, something you did. Instead of just saying thank you, you deflected it: 'It was nothing,' 'I just got lucky,' 'You're being too kind.' The person looked slightly deflated. You noticed, but you didn't know how to fix it in the moment.
