Praiselate

To strategically praise a person or a group of people in order to manipulate the emotions of another person or group of people — usually to provoke jealousy, insecurity, competition or create a sense of inferiority without directly insulting or bashing the third party.

A subtle form of emotional triangulation and comparative flattery disguised as praise

“Notice how she kept praising his ex the whole night? She was clearly praiselating to make him feel less.”

“The teacher kept praising the other students just to get under our skin. Total praiselation.”

“You weren’t complimenting her — you were praiselating me.”

“He didn’t compliment her because he admired her — he did it to praiselate me”

When someone says they don't want or feel they need praise, but you secretly know they do want it and they will enjoy it amd as such you give it to them anyway. And when they smile, you know you were right all along.

"I just am so out of my comfort zone, I am no good at this and it makes me not want to do it anymore"
"Actually, you're progressing really well, you're doing better than you think you are and we're really impressed"
"Eww don't praiserape me, let me wallow"
