Is it normal that i hate positive attention?

i know it might sound strange,but i try to avoid praise at all costs.even simple stuff like say,i did the dishes and some1 says thank you,i hate it.when i was in school i would get good grades all the time and always know the answers,but when sum1s like wow your really smart,i almost get mad.im really in2 doing flips and gymnastic stuff,but i hate it when ppl r like wow,thats cool.i think it stems from my childhood because i was always getting praise 4 this or that,im such a stand out in every aspect,i have red hair,im smart,im strong,im creative.is so bad now,i dont want any1 to think that im smart or strong and i go to great lengths to not get that attention,trust me,if i wanted it,it would be easy to get every1s attention.i feel like im showing off i guess.honestly, i crave bad attention,to be punished seems to feel good in a way,and that shit confuses the hell out of me,i no this cant be normal,but what do u think?
