Compliment Gone Wrong

When someone compliments an unattractive individual to make that individual feel better about themselves (actually meant to boost their self esteem) but it’s actually not true; the individual then mistakenly takes it seriously from there on out and has an inflated ego.

Example: Sarah thinks she’s hot shit since she got those breast and butt implants but she’s actually a “compliment gone wrong”.

Dave sure has been acting like a “compliment gone wrong” ever since he got those new hair plugs.

(noun) - a person who accepts the political narrative of the day unquestionably; consumes mainstream media like it was 1980; and is prone to submissiveness, outbursts of irrational fear, and public shaming of free-thinkers.

Dan and Scott are complicity theorists that believe State sanctioned censorship of free speech and protest are for the utilitarian greater good.

My mother is an avid complicity theorist who believes everything reported on main stream media and in government press conferences, without question.

Richard and Perle were operatives who used the Deep State apparatus to subliminally and insidiously control the minds of the unassuming general population through main stream media disinformation; complicity theorists soon became the societal norm.

Compliment Whore

n. A person who is constantly insulting themselves in order to receive pity and sympathy from those around them. Sometimes the point of their fishing for compliments is to purposely make the other person feel bad. They won't shut up no matter how many compliments are fed to them.

Can be seen to the equivalency of your girlfriend asking you every 10 seconds if she's fat in that dress.

Girl: OMG I WEIGH 90 POUNDS!! I AM SOOOO FAT!!!
Friend: You're not fat, you're skinnier than me!
Girl: I AM SOOOOOOOO FAT!!!
Friend: Compliment whore...

Girl: I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT A 98% ON THE QUIZ!! I AM SOOO STUPID!!!
