Ok so like a few years ago, I got really into giving good compliments as a sadism thing. If your observational skills are good enough and you're half decent at writing and delivery, you can cause someone to shed tears, to struggle to even parse what you're saying and repeat it back over and over, and force them to engage with differences between negative aspects of their identity and reality. Most people just aren't very good at giving compliments, so a lot of people have a really low tolerance for it. I mean in large part I just really like making cute girls cry. But also this is probably not what you mean by having a praise kink?
