Am I really just this insecure or could he have said this?

For the longest time like in high school I struggled with my self esteem and didn’t get the kind of attention that I get now. I didn’t start getting compliments like this until like senior year of high school. Now I get a lot of compliments whether it’s that I’m pretty or beautiful or on my makeup or nails or something.
To this day it’s still hard for me to accept them and I’m a huge skeptic because in high school I wasn’t really noticed. I work in retail and yesterday this guy came in the store and he seemed a little flamboyant and weird but he was nice and I liked him. I was at the front of the store and he came in and kept stared at me at first and kept looking at his phone so I thought that weird but I thought he wanted to ask me a question or something but didn’t.
I went to be the cashier and I ended up getting him and he had something on hold which they told him he could get an extra 25% off for so I gave it to him. My coworker looked at my nails and she was like “oh I like your nails stacia” and I said thanks then the guy looked at them too and was like “they are nice” so I laughed and said thank you.
We have red holiday paper bags for the holidays nothing special because our normal paper bags are blue and I handed the guy the bag to leave. He looks at me while he’s about to leave and as far as I know says “you are so pretty” I’m pretty sure he said that because he was looking dead at me and I said thank you then he left. I heard him clearly of course but that self conscious piece in the back of my head thinks he could have been talking about the holiday paper bag or something.
Why do I do this? And does it sound like he was talking about me?
