INGRATIATED Meaning and Definition

  1. Ingratiated is the past tense of the verb "ingratiate." To ingratiate means to intentionally gain favor, acceptance, or love by doing or saying things that please others, often in a calculated or insincere manner. It involves using flattery, charm, or other tactics to become more attractive or appealing to someone, particularly to gain an advantage or win their favor.

    When someone ingratiates themselves with another person, they are attempting to create a positive impression or win their trust by adapting their behavior, opinions, or interests to be more aligned with the person they are trying to impress. By doing so, they hope to establish an emotional connection or rapport, fostering a sense of liking or admiration.

    Ingratiating behavior can vary depending on the context and the motivations behind it. It may involve compliments, acts of kindness, or going out of one's way to assist or please others. However, it is essential to note that ingratiation is often perceived as insincere or manipulative, as the person engaging in such behavior may not genuinely hold the opinions or sentiments they express.

    Ingratiating oneself can be seen in both personal relationships and professional environments where individuals seek to create alliances, gain support, or achieve personal or professional advancement. However, it is important to approach ingratiation cautiously, as excessive or overt attempts to ingratiate can backfire and lead to negative perceptions or trust issues.
