We all like to hear good things ourselves. Many people seek validation in various ways. Now, in a professional setting, one may surround oneself with such people who only sing praises. Now, why will anybody sing praises before you all the time? There must be something in you that he is trying to extract. People tend to surround themselves with such people. Over time, they cut themselves off from those who are actually well-wishers.
As they speak the truth when you meet them, you tend to keep away. But you should listen to opposite opinions also. Even if it may be bitter to hear, it may have something in those opinions. Well, all opinions are hard to materialize, but if it is related to your dealings with your regular affairs, one should pay attention. Others can spot irregularities easily because you have become accustomed to yourself.
When somebody has the intention to extract something from you, they will prep you and shower you with all the love and care. Once they are done with you, they will discard you. Well, everyone does it more or less. So, it is what it is. As rational and logical people, we sometimes need to reflect on our daily affairs. We should be able to spot the praise singers. Relying on them too much will bring nothing but downfall because they are there to take advantage. Many a time, they tend to misdirect if they happen to be in the same business as you are.
Spotting such people is easy. You can observe them from their behavior. They will support you even if you are wrong. So, sometimes do something wrong intentionally and ask for their opinions. You can spot them. Besides, they often leave clues because one cannot keep acting all the time. Once in a while, the masks fall off.
