The most dangerous person in your life isn’t who you think it is…

The most dangerous person in your life isn't the one who hates you. It's the one who likes you only for what you can give them. It's actually Machiavellianism. And you can find out if someone is doing this to you with really one sneaky move. Tell them you can't help them with something they need from you. Then kind of watch what happens. Because a Machiavellian cannot hide what comes next. They actually don't become understanding. They get cold or they start looking for a new angle because sadly, the relationship was never actually about you. It was always about what you could do for them. And that's your cue. You know, I've realized in business and in life You need to make yourself sometimes temporarily a little useless. You know, you'll find who actually wants to be there. They're not rattled by you having nothing to give right now because the relationship isn't just a transaction. A Machiavellian person, they were never your friend. They were managing you. They were trying to get you to do something for them. So the second that you become less useful, you'll see who disappears.
