I feel horrible when people do very nice things for me

A lot of the time, people will do very kind acts for me. Recently, I left my study material in another city when I was visiting someone and someone took the trouble to drive all the way to where I was to give it to me. That made me feel so guilty and angry at myself for being so stupid.
I've encountered similar experiences and instead of me being overwhelmed with gratitude only it came with a constant self-loathing and depression.

Is this normal?

    I know how you feel, I don't like it when people are nice to me, simply because i believe people should have mutual kindness, and I'm never kind.

    I do a lot for other ppl but I'm uncomfortable when ppl do things for me . Just the way I was raised , it took me along time to learn to smile and just say thank you and stop refusing to let ppl do nice thinks for me even though most times i feel I don't deserve it or I now owe the person.

    I can relate to that. Also I feel great about myself when I meet a total a**hole.

    I really don't know what your problem is.

    Maybe it's a hating of owing someone something.
