I hate attention. I hate when people tell me I look good, because I often don't think I do. I'm not powerful enough to be a leader, but I'd gladly whisper suggestions to the person in charge.
I haaate it when people take pictures of me, and I hate taking pictures of myself (though when I do, it's in costume).
And I really just always put myself down. I'm not fishing for compliments or anything, I just say how I feel, lol! And to be honest it never bothers me. I'm happy with myself, but people think I'm looking for attention when I point out my flaws.
I just hate compliments. Seriously I REALLY appreciate people who compliment me, but I'd much rather GIVE than RECEIVE compliments.
My old therapist said I had anxiety issues or some shit, but I stopped seeing her like 2 years ago. Is this normal? Like, really? I mean I'm a very happy person and all, as well as honest, so I just. Bleh. Lol.

Wouldn't you like people to appreciate your compliments when you give it to them?
Social anxiety is pretty normal
Maybe it's normal for users on this site but in the outside world it really isn't.
Anyway, I can't say how normal this is, but I would have thought that a lot of people have felt similar to you before, or can at least understand. Lol.
It certainly is not normal to be anxious and have low self esteem. If it was normal, you would happily accept compliments of people and feel good about yourself.
I feel as if I am picking up on some social anxiety from what you describe though.
