It's not quite that. It's more of "Don't get too big for your own britches" so any praise is suspect for giving you a big head and thinking you're better than you are.

See, if I achieve something, and get praise, it's uncomfortable but I accept it. If I'm getting fawning praise devoid of any accomplishment or milestone, I assume someone's reaching for my wallet. Being praised for basic kindness by, say, my therapist will make me somewhat irritated.

Any and all praise makes me uncomfortable. (unless it's how delicious my food is).

Don't be the tall poppy, that's how you get your head chopped off.
