2. That statement is false

Flattering other people because we want something from them is considered as a manipulation, not a harassment.

To be considered as a harassment, that people need to create a certain level of discomfort or intimidation due to offensive action or language. If the person is genuinely flattered, we can't consider it as a harassment.

The best course of action to deal with high-pressure situation is to use our Refusal skills.
