I still remember my first official work meeting at a new job. I was fresh out of running my own small venture, so I figured I had this whole “professional gathering” thing down. Spoiler alert: I was wrong. I walked in unprepared for half the agenda, rambled on irrelevant side tangents, and might’ve even checked my phone once or twice—yikes.

But here’s the thing—when someone thrives on fake praise, it usually shows. Their behavior starts to feel a little… desperate.

I’ve always found it fascinating how, in a world full of loud voices, there are people who manage to stand out simply by noticing what others miss. You know the type: the colleague who quietly sits in the back of the conference room but can recall every detail of the conversation afterward; the friend at a party who doesn’t say much but can read the mood like a pro. These individuals—highly observant but sparing with their words—often have a whole treasure trove of habits that set them apart.
