Why do I get anxiety when people brag about me?

Not necessarily brag but share their excitement for me.
For example, I won a certificate for something and my mother posted it on Facebook. I’m a very private person so she was the only person who I told about the certificate. I never go on Facebook so I didn’t realize it until 4 days later.
Her comment got an excess amount of likes and comments. Reading them of course made me feel good, but now I have A LOT of anxiety. I haven’t even got the certificate yet. What if they see that on Facebook and decide to take the certificate back? Am I coming off as cocky? People think it’s a big deal when really millions of people get the same certificate everyday. See where my anxiety is going?
In the past I was in a relationship with my ex and when I would bring up my achievements I was shot down. So that definitely burned me and is why I’m so private anymore. My parents are the only people I tell.
