Is it normal i despise any kind of encouragement?

So, first thing's first: I absolutely HATE encouragement, positive or not. For example, last week I was hiking and my buddy was like, "C'mon, Mackie! you got this! We're almost there!". It made me want to turn around and punch him in the face. I can beat on myself and push myself on that way, no problem, but when somebody else does it, it makes me feel angry. Is this normal?

*Side note: I have depression, anxiety, ADD, and OCD.

    Sometimes it's normal to feel that way. Other time's people want to lend you genuine support and encouragement. They don't know you don't like the feedback

      Thanks, man. I just feel a burning hate in my belly when anybody mentions any support. It's wrong of me. They are doing a nice thing, and I'm receiving it badly.
