Yeah, a light-hearted, indirect approach might work if you can stomach it, because then a naturally defensive person might not feel 'criticised' by the comment, nobody needs to make themselves emotionally vulnerable, and you might still get the change you need to see.
If it doesn't work, a more direct confrontation might be necessary, and that would require vulnerability.
I am fed up with being praised like a child.
