Lifestyle & Relationships

Stay away from these kinds of people:

1. Those who play tit for tat. (That’s not love or maturity. It’s petty and destructive to relationships) 2. Those who always gotta one up you. (They will stab you in the back because this is just another version of hater-aid. The celebration of you is disingenuous because they’re too busy competing with you trying to reduce your successes) 3. Those who always carry a bone. (They cannot be trusted with delicate information because confidentiality is not their strong suit, unless it’s their own)

Not only have I run into these situations but I know people who have. And it happens the business colleagues, friends and family. Examples: Copy write infringement, family or friends saying things like "yeh girl I gotchoo." Then turn around and hear them saying things like I been thinking about doing my own for so many years and slowly the support disappears. But your copy shows up on their page or in their dialogue with someone else as they package it as their own. Or you share a painful event from your past and then hints of that information having been shared with someone else comes out during conversation with another party that only the one person you shared with, would know. Or you share your excitement about a new role of interest that you want to pursue and they go behind your back and try to undercut you by applying for the same role.

Curious, have you ran into any of these situations lately with colleagues? Would love to hear more details!

I’m all for those who want to be a team player vs. trying to “one up”.
