Re: False Teaming - a method to be aware of

Manufactured urgency is a classic trick.

One example is the street hustler tactic: someone comes up to you breathlessly,

"Excuse me? Excuse me? Excuse me?"!!!

This is the type of person who approaches us, wheels spinning wildly. Unless you
make a conscious attempt to stay grounded and calm, they get you to feel just
as urgent as they appear to be.

Your critical thinking is ruined.

If you are a very nice kind person, have had a sheltered up bringing,
were trained to be emotional care provider for family members with
untidy emotions, you can be easily tricked into believing that unless
you permit yourself to become just as speedy and nervous as this person
is, you lack compassion.

If you stay calm and refuse to go into turmoil while this person fast talks
a tale of woe, they may even accuse you of being a cold hearted bastard.

Nooooo.

Any time you're accused of this, it means you're not getting sucked into the
con.

Girls and women are especially targeted. If they refuse to get agitated by someone's false urgency, they get called the other B word.

Learn as early in life as you can to stop feeling afraid of someone calling you
the male or female B word.
