Question for you: Do you find this lack of trust arises only in the area of receiving compliments, or do you experience a general lack of trust of others?
I don't believe it's a trust issue at all, but one of self esteem.

It's like I know the status of my appearance and workmanship, so when someone gives me a compliment and it doesn't match what I know to be true, then I don't believe them. But I think the problem is that I don't necesarily know everything. Maybe my opinions are skewed.
But you don't know that at all. That's your own perception of yourself. Obviously others like your appearance, etc., or they wouldn't be giving you compliments.

Work on the self esteem issues and it will be a lot easier to accept compliments.
