Ingratiate

to try and win favor by flattering someone or trying to please them (perhaps even giving a gift).

I’m confused why Vanessa thinks it’s her children’s responsibility to ingratiate themselves to Joey bc that’s what she “needs” #beyondthegates #btg

Slowly attempting to ingratiate myself further with local crows. They already associate my whistle with a peanut delivery, and I refresh the birdbath with fresh water.

One seems more curious about me, and looks like they have a bad foot. Tossed them some peanuts privately, got visited by them later

I’m unsure if I’m the only person that deals with this, but I have this issue whenever I’m being nice to someone where I get paranoid that either they’re gonna think I’m trying to ingratiate myself to them / have ulterior motives, or that I subconsciously somehow am trying to do so
