> I get that the intent is to make another person feel good about themselves, but if you praise anything and everyone, how does this praise convey anything special? i have noticed that the inverse also exists. Especially in northern/eastern europe. Calling out the cynical truth and how everything is bad but could also be so much worse seems to be way for people to connect. This often happens in a crisis situation aswell.
