2. To draw attention to yourself when no one wants you is to be intrusive.
-
3. To suck up to someone with speeches designed to please is to be sycophantic.
-
4. Not to distinguish between good and evil in what others say is to be a flatterer.
-
5. To gossip about other's failings is to be slanderous.
-
6. To separate friends and families is to be malevolent.
-
7. To give false praise in order to hurt others is to be wicked.

8. Having no concern for right or wrong, but to be two-faced in order to find out what others know, is to be treacherous.
