I Don't Know How to Take Compliments

Whenever people compliment me on, well, anything really. I'm left surprised, and kind of confused. I guess it's because I don't expect to many compliments to come my way. I expect a lot more criticism to come my way, and mentally that's what I try to prepare myself for. So on the off chance that I do get complimented, well, my thoughts will go something like this: " I think I just got complimented there, that wasn't supposed to happen...crap, what do I do here?" At which point I sometimes say that the person is just complimenting me to be nice, or I criticize them for being a suck up. Or I'll straight up disagree with the compliment they gave me. I really should stop doing those thing, but I still catch myself doing it. I like getting compliments just as much as the next person, but at the same time I don't, because I often make myself look like a f*cking idiot afterwards.
