My friend, we’re all wired a little differently. Sometimes that wiring shifts by the day, or if our social battery is used up, or if we’ve been burned a lot. Also, of you’ve got AuDHD it can potentially make you suspicious because you have a hard time picking up any cues regarding the praise to tell if someone is bullshitting you or not. And yeah, praise can be awesome, as long as it’s from a trusted source.
