The anxious anticipation of receiving recognition or praise for a personal achievement, often demonstrated by obnoxiously bragging or showing off on social media. A flexpectation may also include the expectation of receiving gifts, free drinks, or other perks from friends or acquaintances who are impressed by the achievement.
Example: "Tommy had a massive flexpectation when he finally completed his 100th level of Candy Crush. He posted a screenshot of the achievement on Facebook, wrote a 1,000-word post about the strategies he used to get there, and even created a hashtag #CandyCrushMasterTommy. He was hoping to get at least 100 likes and a few congratulatory comments, and maybe even a free dessert from his favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, his flexpectation was not met, and he only got a few likes and some eye-rolling emojis from his friends."
