Basically a saying for forcefully steering a conversation one way. Like if someone is standing around saying "ow, ow, my wrist" cus they hurt their wrist or something and wanna get someone to ask them about it..

I can't remember if it's just a word or like an idiom or something...all I can think of is "putting on a pedestal" which I know is wrong lol but that's what keeps coming to mind

Plz help it's really frustrating trying to remember it lol

"Fishing" is the term I'd probably use.

It usually comes up more in the context of fishing for compliments or fishing for attention, but it seems like it would apply to any conversational gambit designed to hint at something to trick people into asking about it.

Fishing is definitely the term I would use. Theyre fishing for sympathy in this case or attention
