fishing for compliments

A lot of good responses. For the record my daughter is 52. She has 2,171 friends on facebook. Four commented on her post.

You want to know something weird? I had a friend on there who was drop dead gorgeous when we were younger. She did a couple tv commercials and some modeling. Now she's a yr or 2 behind me in age and she will slap up the same photos every month of herself to get them commented on and re-liked. It was getting old. Maybe it's just that age group.

My mom was the same way. No compliments, but a lot of criticism. She was often spiteful and malicious and I swear envious. What kind of nut is jealous of her own kid? I gave up too.

My mother was also a jealous, spiteful b..... I thought it was me being paranoid until other people commented on it. Now that we are all adults, my siblings and I can appreciate the negative impact she had on all our lives.
Funnily enough, my daughter has always been jealous of me! She's a very pretty, intelligent girl so it's hard to understand.
 
I don't use FB. I have an account, but for some reason the format doesn't appeal to me. I am weird however, so there is that.

Well, maybe she's not "Fishing for compliments." Maybe she's just speaking her mind.
Sometimes, I'll post something similar & once in a while, someone (who's not a nice person) will accuse me of "Trying to be a hero."
Such people often wish they were more like the person they criticize.

That's how I see it, too, Win.
