Most of us don't receive that, some have never experienced it, and a multitude believe there is an ulterior motive behind it when we hear it.
There are 2 kinds; genuine & false encouragement. Tricks, lies, criticism, pride, revenge, and gaining the upper hand are usually the motives behind false encouragement. But not everyone is like that! There is a group in society that live according to the Bible's teachings and encourage those who are having a tough time with life's demands. Getting those to believe that someone actually cares about them is another thing. We usually don't believe it because we are frequently stung by it. This creates feelings of hopelessness, an entry point for an addiction.
Hebrews 3:13 "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness".
False encouragement is just deceit and the basis of greed. Genuine encouragement is the basis of giving with nothing expected in return.
