Is it normal that i can't accept compliments

Like if someone says to me 'omg that is amazing' i think to myself 'are you kidding a five year old could do it, so many people have done this before, i bet you could do this in your sleep' but i don't say it because then it sounds like i'm fishing for compliments. then i'm able to come up with a huge list of problems with whatever it is. but like i said, i keep this to myself and just say thank you.

    Same here. People compliment me but I just say thanks, then try to shift the subject.

    Keep saying "thank you" That's the proper way to handle a compliment, plus you may "act your way into right thinking."

    Conversely, you obviously deem yourself unworthy of a kind word given by others. Strange, someone notices one quality trait in us, and we find a thousand reasons why they are wrong. Why do you think yourself so unworthy? Get real in answering that one.

    I Can't Either.

    Someone will say 'Your really pretty Megan' I'll reply 'No, I'm not but thanks' but when someone says something about my work i'll just say thanks and then look at their work and say to myself... hers is much better she's just saying it. Its normal.

    I can't accept compliments either. Ppl tell me I'm beautiful I think theyr just trying to make me feel good, they say they like my art work an I'm thinking 'are u blind?there's so many mistakes', or I did a great job at work and I say yea sure. I guess my prob is I see all the flaws and think ppl are just being nice

    Okay I don't get the other comments but anyway... I understand where your coming from I play softball for my school and when everyone tells me I did go I always say something like whatever did you see that bad throw I made or something like that although I know I'm good. Or even when it comes to my looks when someone says oh your so pretty I'm like whatever or that looks so good on you I'm like ugh really etc. I have a really low self-esteem. Maybe you do to. And Some people like me and you I guess just can't accept a compliment.

    Just agree with them who cares. Maby they think it is five year old quality and they want you to feel good about it, you know like you are sort of retarted a bit and they feel sorry for you
