A phenomenon known as \social media by storm． The number of related topics on Weibo has reached more than 23 million． Users can join a chat group on WeChat or QQ， where
they are showered with varieties of generous praise and encouragement． Praising others like this is also very popular among teens who prefer to call it \．

University's psychology department warned that \‘false self'， which makes it harder to see the ‘true self'．\， people in the group will find that such unreasonable praise doesn't help solve the real problem． Soon the whole group will be silent and dead．
Perhaps the praise groups are \， which might disappear sooner or later． No matter how you think of it， only when you can understand the pressure， criticism and praise correctly， will you face them bravely． Don't lose yourself in others' voices-that is what really matters．
