Is it Lame to upovote yourself ??

Hello Hivers and Lions

A stupid question since it's Monday.
Is upvoting yourself LAME?

When I use traditional social media, for example, Facebook and I see a person to like his posts I want to throw up :)
I always was a smartass and full judgment in self-likers. I know ... I am mean sometimes.
My wife told me that usually, people who don't have many followers - friends are showing this attitude since they want to feel more numbers in the like bar. I have 5k friends because of my line of work so she sees that I cant understand them.
My wife is always sympathetic to people, especially when I am a dick.

Since I Joined Hive and LEO I found myself unable to resist upvoting myself.
I am thinking that it's not the same because my vote = HIVE or = LEO so its a different issue.
But does it look needy in the higher ranks? Do people see my posts and think
"pfff, this guy upvote all his post how pathetic? " or is it normal to upvote yourself?

Some of you might think
WHAT A STUPID POST but when I think of something more than 3 times i learned to "ask"

So let's ask again
Is UPVOTING YOURSELF LAME?
What do you think?
