The word "overpraised" is a literal translation of the Chinese phrase 过奖 and therefore qualifies as Chinglish. A native speaker would not say that.

Thank you for the compliment, I am flattered.

`Overpraised` would be used to commment on what a person has done and to exaggerate the accomplishment.
`Flattered` is what the person may feel after being `overpraised`.
