Pro tip: if all your friends are online and you never show them what you look like, they can never compliment you nor not compliment you. Its a win win!
It tends to get better with younger generations. I’ve gotten a lot of good and bad feedback about some changes I made during the last months but pretty much exclusively from friends and co-workers under 40.
Was never weird though. Just smile and say something like “Right? I’m trying that out. Thank you :)”
I’ve literally never gotten a compliment from a friend. I would find it quite weird if I did.

Accepting compliments can be learned.
I updated my profile pic on teams with a professional shot after a fresh shave and a button down.
I’m normally unshaven and in gaming t shirts.
Needless to say I got lots of compliments from both guys and girls in meetings on “cleaning up good” and “looking fresh”
Felt good.
It would be way less weird if they said:
“Hey man. You look like absolute dogshit, bro.”
