What does “I was flogging myself” mean?
- English (US)
- English (UK)
floggings primary definition is to whip something/someone. Example. A jockey flogs his horse to make it run faster, work harder.
We can assume the speaker is not doing that to themselves.
So the secondary usage must apply. Like the horse, the speaker was forcing themselves to work very hard.

@Carrlaa I have no idea what they mean. The grammar isn't correct. The portion after "profile" seems like it was simply added to the end with no accommodation for Grammar.
My best guess. The speaker doesn't like their own profile page and punishes/flogs (metaphorically) themselves by viewing profile pages they do like.
