Catfishing for compliments

When someone lacking in confidence creates a hotter online persona to get attention from the opposite sex.

Morgan had low self esteem so she made a fake profile using her gorgeous cousin Heather's pics and went catfishing for compliments.

comprehentious, comprehentiousness

to bombastically draw conclusions or make extrapolations from inadequate data;

a compounding of comprehention and pretentious.

Bob, the new sales guy, spent 30 minutes learning our newest product and announced that he could see that there needs to be major improvements before anyone can really use it. 30 min.!! I find that so comprehentious. He doesn't even know how to use it.

Measured compliment

A vague and insincere compliment used to be polite in a case of something awful, i.e. a terrible play, song, art piece, et cetera.

Man 1: "Oh, what a joy. By the way, the sound...is great."
Man 2: "Good, that's good to hear."
Man 3: "Thank you for that measured compliment."

compartmentalize

Someone who can "divide" his or her's emotions from other thoughts, even from the important.

A spy can compartmentalize his emotions after killing someone, knowing (s)he still has a mission to complete.
