Praisebait (noun) – A social media post or behavior designed to deliberately attract compliments or validation. This can be done by downplaying oneself (“Ugh, I look so ugly today”) or using fake modesty (“I have no idea how I won this award!”) to get reassurance. Praisebait can also involve heavily edited photos or aesthetic edits that present someone in an exaggeratedly perfect way, aiming to elicit admiration and praise. Often seen as a subtle form of attention-seeking or self-image manipulation.
