Fishing for compliments

I hate it when people fish for compliments.

Like the girl who posts an immaculate picture on her Instagram with the caption " urghhhhh having an ugly day today :frown:

"

And then hoards of caked girls come in and say " omgzz bbz no. I won't let u say dat You look amazing"

Etc

What I do - I just put it out there:

I know I'm good, now **** off.

That's the way everyone should be.

Lol my Facebook is full of girls I knew when I was at secondary school. They appear to be wearing more and more make up with every passing year!

I don't see anything wrong with fishing for compliments as long as it is not over the top.

I've deleted anyone who was like that from all my social media and I'd advise everyone to do the same.

The dialogue is spot on. The gif - I have to say, it's a bit creepy.

Isn't fishing for compliments something what you do in nearly all your threads? :smug:

No see that's what I'm saying... I just make the compliment myself. That's totally different. No fishing - just balling.

Some would call you arrogant, others would call you stuck up.

I would call you a Legend.

Thank you - your support means a great deal.

And the thing is, I may not be that great, but at least I'm not fishing for compliments this way. And at least I'm not one of the caked girls.

Also - if you don't believe in yourself, who is going to?

I was always unsympathetic to those who seemingly had it all and yet complained.

But I've learnt that everyone has their own struggles and what might appear to be easy to one person might be difficult for another.

For one presidential candidate, a mere million dollar loan from his father as a young person might seem like a small amount and a struggle but to another, it would seem like the most money in the world!
