You've got it figured out, you dont like the compliments because you dont believe them. Why not? What is so absolutely terrible about you that you deserve to be put down and criticized instead of given compliments? Are you in therapy? It would be a really good thing to bring up.

I used to feel the same way. But now I look at it all differently. I am not a terrible person - there is no evidence to support that. I deserve to be complimented and treated well, as does every human on this planet. It took me a very very long time to accept myself and that I am a good person but now I do I relish in compliments, its lovely that people think highly of me.
