Being susceptible to flattery !
in General Discussions
There is a quote that says " Flattery and insults raise the same question, what do you want ? "
Some people are not able to distinguish between flattery and compliments /praise , no doubt we all like to hear others say good things about us. But, one should be able to distinguish between flattery and well deserved and genuine compliment...

Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead !!!

    There is very thin line in between flattery and praise who do understand it well. even jokes sound sarcastic to some one not getting there. Flattery certainly is a complicated issue for people with low top-material.

    Yes that's true ! People can be very complicated and many a times their intentions are beyond our perception !I know of some relatives who come and praise (flatter) me on my face and probably do the opposite behind my back...

    That is natural, no one can afford to do it on your face. However I feel critics are my best friends, provided they do it on my face with good intentions. I won't take a minute to mend my ways.

    Yes for that we must take each and every word as a positive one.

    There is very thin line between praise and flattery. I believe that if anybody praises me in my presence, this is flattery. If he praises me in my absence, this is genuine.

    One should not bother about praise or rebuke. It is better to ignore what others say- good or bad- and do your best as considered fit.

    Even if some one flatters or praise us in true sense, we should ask ourselves. It's we who can understand us more than any others as we are well acknowledged about our capabilities and weakness.
    True admirations are real appreciations which catalyze us a lot while fluttering may harm us. Some people may flutter us for their benefits or getting our attention also.

    even genuine praise is not really useful. One may praise from his angle. It is best to ignore bouquet and brickbats both. It is worthwhile to see the results of your activities and review yourself.

    if some one is praising us on our face, we should look down on ourselves and think twice- do we qualify? Is that flattery? You are the best judge.

    That is the wisest thing to do , but very few are able to do that.Human nature is such that, one is perpetually looking for approval from others, may be it is because of the conditioning that happens to people due to the norms laid down by the society !

    True!
    Sometimes, we feel, if it's right in other one's eyes, we are right :evil: :evil: :evil: . It may be because of lack of self-confidence or belief in ourselves.
