Recently, I’m very flattered by the compliments from one of the major brand of scientific calculator.

Recently, I’m very flattered by the compliments from one of the major brand of scientific calculator from a math site.

I used the word 'flattered' to express the fact that I'm very happy (and at the same time think I'm good too) to receive their compliments.

Emotion: thinking Do you think it need to be replaced by some other words instead?

I find the word 'flatter' confusing because it can mean a bad thing some of the time as in 'flatter = to praise (someone) in a way that is not sincere'.

Thanks.
