compliment survivor 

Kind of person who overreacts an everyday compliment like "you look amazing", says it's inconvenient and inappropriate and/or goes full Karen about it until the other person regrets being born / having said a word.
Oh no, he said "beautiful"? How dare he!... Honey, stay strong. You're still here. You're a compliment survivor.

compliment sandwich 

When an insult is softened by placing a compliment before and after.
That jerk Jason gave me a real compliment sandwich. He was like “I’m so happy we’re finally hanging out. You must be really comfortable around me to show up with your hair like that. Only a natural beauty could pull of that just-rolled-out-of-bed look.

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
