     Some netizens（网民） shared their ideas， "I take it as a way of adjusting the mood.The praise group helps in adding our confidence.Some sincere praises can even be inspiring（鼓舞人心的）.However，if you're really in trouble，it is you who holds the final key. "Clearly，some dishonest praise comes at a cost.Chen Kan，an professor in Fudan University's psychology department warned that "The biggest risk is to continue to stress on the 'false self，which makes it harder to see the 'true self .In the end，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 "a flash in the pan"，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.
