Someone just called you zesty and you are not sure how to respond. Being referred to as zesty could be because you are humorous, energetic, and funny. It could be a good thing but at the same time, you might be getting a sub. Well, it is hard to decide your response if the latter is the case.

Oh, Your Flattery Is Something Else. Should I Put An End To This Vibe?
“Oh, your flattery is something else. Should I put an end to this vibe?” is a good reply to give when someone calls you zesty.

Asking them if you should put an end to your zesty vibe helps you verify if you should continue being lively around them.

Without these people, our lives will be unexciting so you can use this response.

If you are zesty and you know it, raise your hands. Well, you wouldn’t need anyone to tell you that you are fun to be around. Or you may have gotten the zesty compliment so many times in your life.

Imagine I Wasn’t Your Friend. Your Life Would Be So Boring
You can still blow your trumpet a little more especially when your friend tells you how zesty you are. Tell them to assume they weren’t your friend.

In my opinion, this acceptance makes you more energetic and zestful.
