Do you like,when you do something right or when you solve a critical situation,and someone flatters you. I don't necessarily like to be flattered if I do something,especially if I consider that the thing I did was part of my job.Of course,I like when someone says "Great job,man.Keep up the good work." but I hate people who flatter me out nowhere "Oh,what a kind man you are","Man,you're so smart".I consider that people who do that..do that more because they want something from me.Of course,not all of them do,but this is what I expect. So,do you like being flattered by someone?

I like being praised, but I hate it when someone is kissing up to me and flatters constantly. That's annoying and 99% sure that they have second intentions with that, which I hate. If they want something from me, let's go straight ahead, and tell me, don't say a 100 times how sweet and smart and cool and perfect I am...

Totally hear you.In times like that I would prefer that they would just speak up.I guess they won't learn if I tell them they are waisting their times with this,that they would be better off if they wouldn't flatter me for so much nothing.

It is so fascinating that we feel so flattered if somebody gives their good praises to us. They do appreciate the internal beauty than the physical attributes. Whenever someone will adore me, a never ending blush on my face. I kept on smiling that life is not that cruel to feel being inspired of.

I do like being flattered but when they overdo it it's not good anymore. I would then suspect that they do want something from me but were shy to ask in the first place.

The manner of being flattered make our life keep going. It can put us more motivated to do good deeds or even make the best at work. I used to blush and smile whenever someone give a flattering statement about me.
