The Hidden Cost of EXPLOITATIVE style
Ever felt the sting of a EXPLOITATIVE style interaction? That predatory, calculating edge erodes trust and leaves relationships in tatters. When someone takes advantage without credit, the atmosphere turns toxic, and motivation drops like a stone. What would happen if you could flip that script?
Step 1: Spot the Pattern
1. Notice the moment you feel used. 2. Label it as EXPLOITATIVE style. 3. Pause and ask, "Is this serving my long‑term goals?"
By naming the behavior, you create a mental buffer that stops the automatic reaction.
