You literally do NOT understand how amazing you are. An argumentative compliment is when someone tries to tell you that you are amazing when really they are the amazing one.

Example of a barbed compliment:
"You're a very smart person, but you're so lazy that you can never get any work done. The only thing you're actually good at is being nice to people, and even that is a lie, because of how selfish and self-centered you are. You're honestly just a burden to everyone who knows you."

A Trojan Compliment is a nice looking compliment on the surface but whose only aim is to manipulate you.
It's more insidious than a back-handed compliment in the way that you don't really realize it's a critic.
The Trojan Complimenter then waits for you to confess it's not as it looks, or he will "realize" it's not as he thought and pretend to be disappointed and use it to get more concessions from you.

When someone leaves what seems like a nice, innocent comment but is actually a sneaky way of congratulating themselves. Usually for something that doesn't deserve congratulations.
This comment left on a soundtrack that was used in the Umbrella Academy series:
Sneak self-congratulation compliment: "Thank you umbrella academy for reintroducing this to the next generation."
It seems like an innocent comment, but is actually a way for the commenter to congratulate themselves for knowing the soundtrack before it was in the series. The commenter also believes that they are better than the people who are just now discovering it, and that he/she should get a reward for knowing the song for a longer period of time.

A compliment in between a regular compliment and a backhanded complement. It’s more of a neutral statement.
