Does anyone else dislike compliments?

Even when they’re harmless and intentions are good, I rarely like being complimented. Compliments on a skill of some sort are okay (though I don’t hear those often), but people commenting on my appearance in some way makes me uncomfortable. Maybe because I don’t believe what they say, or maybe because I doubt the sincerity (i.e. they’re just saying that to get something).
I also don’t give compliments often - it always feels too awkward.
Does anyone relate to this? Just curious.

I get uncomfortable with compliments depending on who said it/ how it was said. I only like the "appearance-based" compliments if their from my girlfriend or my one other close friend. I feel perfectly fine complimenting others if I see good qualities worth mentioning to them but I'm weird about compliments towards me, mainly if they're about attributes I didn't have control over, such as appearance. It seems shallow, in my mind, to compliment me for something I was born with and didn't work for. However, I do appreciate compliments on my hard work or skills, as long as the tone of their voice didn't make me feel nervous.
