How do you deal with compliments?

I spend the past days organizing an event and at the end of it, lots of people came to congratulate me for a job well done, and mentioned things like how I inspired them or how they admired some of my traits. I am inside super happy about such feedback of course, but I never seem to know how to react or reply when the feedback is given in person, so that I think I make some kind of funny faces, or hide my face, or even say “thanks but I’m bad a receiving praise”, which I realize some people find confusing or impolite. I end up always feeling bad about myself and overthinking, rather than just being happy about the positive feedback. Do you also have this? What do you do?
