Not sure about this advice in general. I get quite uncomfortable if I receive praise or compliments in general, and in a group setting is even worse. I find it embarrassing and awkward.

Im not saying “never give praise in public”. But, you know, read the room. As always, especially with social interactions, context is key! Know the people you’re talking with!



Can you share more about what makes it awkward?

Sometimes it’s just that people don’t know the template for responding. Like, for example just saying “thank you” and smile, or heart reacji if on slack or something.

But I don’t want to assume in your case.
