Is it normal to hate compliments?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to dislike compliments or feel awkward when you get them. Some people enjoy the attention; others feel put on the spot, doubt the compliment, or simply don’t know how to respond.

Compliments can feel surprisingly uncomfortable: suddenly you’re the center of attention, expected to react, or wondering whether the person really means it. If you’re hard on yourself, praise may also clash with how you see yourself. None of that means you’re rude or broken.

People are split on compliments—some love them, while others would rather skip the whole exchange. You can keep your response simple, like “Thanks,” or let people close to you know that quieter appreciation feels better. You don’t have to pretend to enjoy being praised.
