I have no clue, that is only something that you can decide for yourself.
'Dang is there anything I need to look out for?'
Plenty..
But let me give you a few things to look out for.
👇
Manipulation Sign:
If you are compromising too much, there is a chance that you are getting manipulated.
Why are you the one that's always compromising?
How come the other person always gets their way?
Be more curious.
If something seems off, stick up for yourself.
I have no clue, that is only something that you can decide for yourself.
'Dang is there anything I need to look out for?'
Plenty..
But let me give you a few things to look out for.
👇
'How come people don't leave when it's happening to them?'
Because most people have 0 clue that they are being manipulated.
You ever made a mistake around someone, only for them to hold it over your head?
The will always bring up the mistake when you 2 are not seeing eye to eye.
These people will use that mistake as leverage to get what they want from you in the future.
Look out.
This person will commit the worst acts & find a way to rationalize it.
Example: cheaters when they get caught.
They have every excuse in the book for why they did it.
Heck, they are so good at rationalizing, they will make it seem like your fault.
This person will always bust out flirty, seduction tactics to get what they want.
They will bust out these moves when they did something devious so you forget what they just did.
Results?
The weak-minded fools let their temptations overpower their judgment.
By far one of the hardest ones to spot.
This person always plays dumb.
They play dumb so much that you start believing they are dumb.
But no!
They are playing dumb for a malicious reason.
Playing dumb to get something out of you
Listen to your gut on this one
Ah.. the shamer.
Always being a virtue signaling shithead.
Never mind their mistakes they say.
They just focus on yours.
Shamers reduce their targets self-esteem & then toy with them like a puppet.
These people don't technically lie.
But they leave out crucial information.
They strategically leave out information in order to paint a narrative.
The narrative is set to paint them as some saint & you as someone who is worried about nothing.
So many fall victims to this that its sad.
This group will yo-yo your emotions.
One second they are showing you all the love in the world.
Next second?
Colder than the movie Frozen.
Leave!
Seriously, these people cannot be fixed.
Rotten to the core.
'Huh?'
When these people get caught doing something shady, they are MASTERS in diverting attention.
I've seen someone once lie and say their mom had a 'fatal' sickness when they were caught red-handed.
They have 0 integrity when diverting attention.
You ever met someone who was always beefing, but seemed soo sweet?
All an act.
This person knows exactly how to act like a sweet little angel.
They know how to leverage this innocence to get what they want.
But in reality, a demon hides behind that angel face
By far the scariest one for many.
This group unleashes their anger at anyone that comes at them.
Result?
They leave their victim too scared to ever call them out, even when they did something wrong.
Toxic people.
Well, now you have a choice.
'And what is that?'
What are you going to do about it?
You are being played.
Are you going to stay & be a victim or muster up enough courage to leave?
The choice is 100% yours.
I am looking out for you.
Now, look out for yourself.
No one said the social dynamics world was rainbows & butterflies.
But stay ahead of the curve by following @ArmaniTalks

Storytelling 101:
Your readers need to be able to empathize with your main character, otherwise they will not continue reading.
Best way to make them empathize is by making your character relatable.
'How?'
By giving your character flaws.
Make them human.
Just to add on.
Your antagonist or villian should have a desirable quality.
For example: an evil villian that has a lot of riches.
Giving your villian some pros makes the reader root for your antagonist even more.
Face it, humans are drawn to flaws over perfection.
But a main character with negative traits & a villain with positive traits creates magic.
Counterintuitive, I know.
But you are creating friction.
You are sparking dual emotions in your readers.
This will make the readers go on an emotional roller coaster.
This is just one of the many principles of storytelling

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”
Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?
A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:
2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to
- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal
3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:
Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.
Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.
4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?
To get clarity.
You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.
It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”
Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

Ask: \u201cWhat needs to be true for you to be all in?\u201d
You'll usually get an explicit answer that you might not get otherwise. It also holds them accountable once the thing they need becomes true.
