This is called post-intensive care syndrome, and it can include physical weakness and cognitive dysfunction, sometimes called brain fog, marked by a loss of intellectual functions such as thinking, memory and reasoning. Patients with cognitive dysfunction have trouble recalling words, performing basic math and concentrating.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t begrudge anyone fighting for their life soliciting all the help and prayers they can get. Vulnerability is scary. <\/p>\n<p>When I first started listening to Dennis Prager on KABC radio in the fall of 1988, I noticed he loved hearing from people about how he had changed their life.<\/p>\n<p>When I became a Prager fan, I knew what I needed to say to him to connect: &#8220;Dennis Prager, you&#8217;ve changed my life&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dennis gives people a recipe to feed him. Like Donald Trump, his appetite for praise cannot be quenched. <\/p>\n<p>Gurus love praise from strangers, but many people find it creepy. <\/p>\n<p>Would you like to receive a dozen roses from a stranger? I&#8217;m not sure I would. It might be disturbing. <\/p>\n<p>Seeking praise from listeners via email is a bit like asking for roses from randos to your door. You&#8217;re seeking a one-sided connection with people you don&#8217;t know. You&#8217;re encouraging a parasocial relationship. <\/p>\n<p>Just because you read my blog does not make you my friend. I don&#8217;t want parasocial relationships with people who listen to me online.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect that healthy people primarily care about love from people they know. <\/p>\n<p>Most women I&#8217;ve known did not appreciate attention and gifts from men they weren&#8217;t interested in, unlike actors who seem perpetually hungry for adulation from any source. <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t recall any public figure who so actively seeks praise as Dennis does (not just now, but throughout his career). I put into Google, &#8220;Why do people ask for praise?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I got this AI response:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nPeople seek praise from others because it acts as a form of social validation, boosting their self-esteem and sense of worth by confirming that they are doing things right and are valued by others; essentially, it fulfills a basic human need to be recognized and accepted by society, often leading to positive emotions when receiving compliments.<br \/>\nKey reasons why people seek praise:<br \/>\nLow self-esteem:<br \/>\nWhen someone has a low opinion of themselves, external validation through praise can be crucial to feeling good about themselves.<br \/>\nSocial connection:<br \/>\nBeing praised can strengthen relationships and make someone feel more connected to others.<br \/>\nMotivation:<br \/>\nPositive feedback can encourage someone to continue working hard and strive for improvement.<br \/>\nDopamine release:<br \/>\nReceiving praise triggers the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, making it feel good to be recognized.<br \/>\nCultural influence:<br \/>\nIn many societies, there is a strong emphasis on achievement and recognition, which can lead to a greater desire for praise.<br \/>\nImportant considerations:<br \/>\nExcessive praise-seeking:<br \/>\nWhile seeking some praise is normal, an excessive need for validation can indicate underlying issues like low self-esteem or narcissism. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I grew up in Australia where it is socially unacceptable to ask for praise.<\/p>\n<p>I asked Grok why do people ask for praise and it answered in part:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nInsecurity or Uncertainty: Sometimes, individuals might seek praise due to underlying insecurities or doubts about their abilities or worth. Asking for praise can be a way to alleviate these feelings by receiving external confirmation of their value or success.<br \/>\nAttention Seeking: On a more surface level, some might ask for praise simply because they desire attention. This isn&#8217;t always negative; it&#8217;s a fundamental human drive to be noticed and acknowledged.<br \/>\nEmotional Regulation: Praise can act as a mood booster or a stress reliever. The positive emotions associated with receiving praise can help in managing one&#8217;s emotional state, especially in stressful or high-pressure situations. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A significant reason that I post so much is that I enjoy feedback, but it would never occur to me to ask for praise. I often find more value in accurate criticism than in praise.  <\/p>\n<p>When I was young, external praise and criticism often shaped my moods, but as I aged, my own opinion of myself became more important than the opinion of randos. I reckon that 2020 was the year when my internal sense of myself became solid and I no longer needed other people to tell me who I am. <\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t imagine moving through my 60s and 70s and soliciting strangers to tell me how I&#8217;ve changed their life. If such praise from strangers uplifts you, then criticism from strangers will depress you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to this Dec. 11 video from PragerU CEO Marissa Streit, Dennis is no longer breathing through a ventilator most of the time.
