I believe compliments are a type of positive feedback that can boost someone’s self-esteem and confidence. I enjoy receiving compliments when people read my articles, provide feedback, and occasionally comments if anything resonates with them.

However, compliments can have a variety of impacts, as you have experienced it.

Trap for mistakes

Praise has the potential to cause errors and is countercounterproductive to our personal development.

While people often perceive positive feedback as motivating, it can also create a false sense of security and slowing personal growth. Some people are probably less likely to seek out constructive feedback or try to improve when they get too much praise.

Over time, this can cause impact directly to their growth.

While compliments are generally well-intentioned, they can have unintended negative consequences, including increased error rates.

Self handicaping

‘’ have shown that people become overconfident and less careful when they get too much praise for their work.
