Complimentary Complaining

To complain in a nice way when trying not to hurt someone's feelings, but you want to get your point across.

Hey thanks for fixing my coffee but it's different today it's not as hot and it's too sweet, It's good though I'm just doing a lil complimentary complaining.

Compliment Farm

Post or thread on social media created solely to garner positive attention and validation. Often these "compliment farms" will pose under the guise of vulnerable or marginalized individuals seeking help or support. These "compliment farmers" will pretend to suffer from real issues or dilemmas, such as body dysmorphic disorder, to inspire agreements, head pats (and OF link views) from their audience.

Q: "Awww man this girl posted in /r/amiugly and she is maybe a 10/10. Isn't that sad?"
A: "Its probably a compliment farm - look at her post history."
Q: "Yea, im seeing some thirstrappyness here. Belongs in /r/ValidateMe"

Compliment Inflation

When a person (typically a girl), receives so many compliments that the value of successive compliments decrease.

John: Ava, you’re so pretty!

Ava: Okay

John: Do you not like it when I say that?

Ava: No, it’s just that I get told I’m pretty all the time so the compliment doesn’t feel as special.

John: Oh I see, being called pretty has lost it’s effect due to compliment inflation.

compliment baiting

Not to be confused with compliment fishing, compliment baiting is the act of talking about oneself or their achievements, then pausing to wait for someone else to chime in to compliment them.

“when logan was telling his story he paused after he said he beat the guy talking shit to him during his match, he’s compliment baiting”
