MLM
Want to know what turns me off the most? MLM... Multi Layered Marketing aka Monetary Leeching Monsters
Didn't really had an enjoyable dinner with my friend on Sunday...
I still take the initiative to catch up with old friends that still hold considerable position in my heart... Updating each other on our lifes... Reminiscing about the past... Having said all that... My ideal meeting session seemed remotely near my expectations... It was every other thing than what I foresaw...
Think this MLM shit came across to him about 2 years ago... People change... For better or for worse... And yes they do... They change... I was abit appalled by his approach of selling... Come on OLD FRIEND! You've chosen the wrong person to talk to! I'm not some gullible piece of dumboshit that is easily manipulated by your selling skills! His desire to sell his products got stronger everytime we met... Before meeting up with him... I was grasping to this "feeble" hope of mine thinking that he is not going to start another round of his "enriching" talk this time... Much to my disappointment... I was nevertheless, wrong again...
As he starts to open his mouth, my inner self immediately diminishes into a state of nothingness... I was really disturbed (portion contributed to pissed off) by his aggressiveness till it came to a point whereby I totally shut myself off from him... Was he totally oblivious to my body language... I shrugged, shrugged and shrugged... I was exuding the signal of "NOT INTERESTED" in every inch of my body... Can't he just stop?
As he continued his yuckity yankity... I pondered and tried to find an answer to the rationale behind all this aggressive selling... Is it true that the products work wonders to the extent that you are so willing to share it with everyone or is it money you are getting out from me? I should give myself the benefit of the doubt, shouldn't I? *smirk*
So tell me what was HIS agenda of initiating this "catching up" session? Was he really keen to meet up with me for old time's sake or am I just one of his puppet-to-be-manipulated-soon old friend? Man! I wonder!
Anyway, I felt used in a way... Used in that sense that I could've been his potential "client"... Rather than meeting up, I could have stayed at home to finish up whatever that was left of Zettai Kareshi...
He's not the person I knew 5 years ago... Not anymore... Or perhaps from his perspective, I wasn't the one he expect to be what I would be at this point of time... In certain aspects of life, I've changed... However, I still see myself as who I am... My My... What was the purpose of all this?
