Individuals that pursue others belief in oneself seeking to quench an inner feeling of self justification leads to the distortion of true emotional intimacy.
Blindly mixing up those closest to the flame of trust, preverbably burning the ones that believed in them.
This is a form of selfishness without intention however, always tends to hurt those that believed in them
Subconsciously this is done because they don't believe in them selves.
They feel guilty that someone else would so they jeopardize the connection subconsciously trying to self fulfill inner feelings of not believing in themselves, till they bring into existence a so called truth fulfilled by acting in opposite of how you feel or made them feel.
This ends up getting more solidified by hurting those, or treating those emotionally invested personally worse especially those that put you on a pedestal.
All because you don't feel you deserve the praise.
