brag about them selves

Answer 4

i guess because everyone wants to be called pretty. it gives them confidence. it can be oober annoying but like i asked a question the other day saying "which pic is best" i didn't ask anything about my looks and some people were like "you're really pretty" or whatever and some people called me an "attention w***e" and said i "liked having my ego stroked"

i don't see what the need for that was.. i was just asking which pic was better =/ i was kinda offended.... so that's just as annoying..

Answer 10

For self-confidence.

Answer 11

yess it is veryy annoying.

Answer 12

I think that mostly it's because everyone wants to feel good about themselves. Compliments are nice to get, and some people feel like they need those to feel confident. So they go searching for them.

I agree, though, that it makes the person really annoying. And because of that the fisher's confidence goes down which makes everything backfire and end up worse.

Everyone wants to be accepted and told that they are amazing. So some people go out and try to get others to tell them those things.

Answer 13

if ur unhappy you want a pick-me-up to make you feel better.

duh.

Answer 14

Maybe people are feeling down and could use a pick me up... maybe they would do the same for you if u were a lil low. Dosnt do any harm to say your hair is lookin nice or summin
