A lot of people who struggle to accept praise (due to shyness, low self esteem, cultural emphasis on humility, etc) - tend to downplay their contributions as "no big deal", "just doing what anyone would do", and/or not as good as what others could do.
So instead of focusing my praise on their efforts, which can always be downplayed or compared unfavorably to others, I focus on the effect their work has on me.
"Hey, thanks for putting together that spreadsheet - having all the information clearly laid out like that saved me a ton of time and stress."
"Thank you for looking after my dog while I'm out of town - I always feel better knowing he's in safe hands, and I know he's much happier with you than he would be at a boarding facility."
"I love that painting you did! It reminds me of the camping trips I used to go on with my dad. Seeing it always makes my day."
That way, if they do still try to downplay it as nothing special, I just shrug and let them know that, regardless, it had a positive impact on me and I appreciate it.
Because, yeah, sure, maybe it didn't take much effort. Maybe anyone else would've done the same thing. And statistically speaking, there's probably somebody in the world who could've done it better. But here's the thing - no one else did do it. They did. And at the end of the day, that's all that really matters.
