The only place this works the way you think it does is in your mind. Any normal person is going to see that and register it as goofy and ingratiating. Like Spock or some alien that thinks it's cracked the human code when really it's nowhere even near the uncanny valley.
- Kalium 8y agoI understand why you think that. This may surprise you, but I really wish my experience agreed with you. I really wish most people saw immediately through insincerity and ego-stroking and empty complements. Indeed, some do. Most of the time, it's disturbingly effective. My data to date suggests that most people won't look too closely when you feed them kind words to hide the others.
