I get suspicious when someone compliments me. I guess for me, sarcasm and irony are both the rule, rather than the exception when it comes to "compliments".
I used to be like that - cynical and suspicious of anything somebody says. If someone said something nice about me, I'd automatically assume he was trying to sell me something.
I realized later on that life's too short for that kind of negativity. Most people simply aren't being sarcastic, they are genuinely trying to be nice.
