Do you believe we were designed to honour others rather than ourselves?

I think mentally healthy people feel comfortable saying good things about others and uncomfortable drawing attention to their own honour and praise. When I see somebody framing their words in a way that is self glorifying, I assume their whole personality is fake. Righteous people do not feel comfortable glorifying themselves. Just like a pig does not feel comfortable eating pork.

For me part of growing up was realizing it feels WAY better to praise others and help others. It's so frustrating to me when I run into the people like you described. Thiers an "opposite" end too. Some people dislike themselves so much from trauma or otherwise that they spend a lot of time focusing on how they act, how they present themselves, worrying constantly about themselves in every situation. This is also selfish and a waste of time. Both are narcissistic behaviors but I will take the time to try to help the self hating people.

So yeah, honoring others is the way to go. I believe it's the only way to live a happy fulfilling life.

Yes ! Everyone who has ever done anything great in human history has been in the service of others

Life is about people.
We give each others lives meaning.

Self-praise is worthless praise. I do agree honoring (American spelling) others is what we are designed to do. I also believe that honor and praise should be earned not just given. There shouldn't be participation trophies. You need to work hard for every honor you receive, otherwise, the honor means nothing.

I think we always have to keep a balance
