Is there a title for the fear of compliments?

Compliments are creepy to me.

I am not sure exactly why though. I am not by any means insecure. I am actually very comfortable with myself and who I am. But every time a guy or even a girl for that matter pays me a compliment I get nervous, smile shyly and just say thank you. By no means am I someone who fishes for compliments (honestly those type of people piss me off), but I always feel the need to say something nice about the person complimenting me as soon as they're finished their compliment. Even virtual compliments freak me out! I really, REALLY don't know what it is. I enjoy being complimented and I enjoy giving compliments, but compliments (simply thinking of the word compliments) gives me an odd feeling in my tummy. I can't even take a compliment from a family member without feeling odd or awkward.
