When people praise you just say a simple THANK YOU and leave it at that. Try not to analyze it.

Keep in mind that many people enjoy giving praise and WANT you to just accept it.

Praise: "You did a great job with that project. you're really smart"

response option 1:
"oh, it was nothing... anyone could have done the same. It's just because I've already done that kind of work, etc"

response option 2:
"THANK YOU."

choose the latter.
