I mean, that’s the conflict of the movie. If everyone around you is always kissing your ass, you’ll never know you need to wash it. It’s the crux of the movie. Sounds great on the surface but he wants to know he’s actually loved. Not just because it’s scripted to love him.
If everyone around me was being paid to like me all the time, I’d never be sure if I was a good person. No one would ever correct me or tell me I need to do better.
