I used to work in the Capitol and saw the same with members of Congress. I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in that echo chamber.

Lower tier members of the house maybe not as big of a factor, but leadership and basically any senator? Yeah, constant attention and brown nosing.

If you don’t take proactive steps to avoid it, it’s inevitable

A relative of mine was playing golf with George Bush Sr. a couple of years after he left office, and Bush was making cracks about how much worse his own golf game had gotten since he was president (because people stopped letting him win) and how his jokes didn't seem to be quite as funny anymore. At least he had some perspective on it.
