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.

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!!!
Friend: But that's the highest grade in the class, you're like the smartest person I know!
Girl: I AM SOOOOO STUPID!!!
Friend: Compliment whore...
