I took this advice personally, where people denounced sycophants, so I stopped affirming them. I became a huge asshole and everyone around me started reacting very, very negatively. My conclusion is that this is a huge distraction and people honestly highly prefer sycophants.
- ranger_danger 2mo agoWhat makes you think those people are aware of and believe those people to be sycophants in the first place? It could just as easily be that their thinking is much simpler than that and they prefer people who suck up to them, without even thinking about there being a possible ulterior motive.
