I found this article super helpful. Heck, I didn’t even know they had a term for it until I read it a week ago. Some asshole tried to do it to me a couple of months ago. Fucking evil. I am so glad I recognized he was a POS sooner rather than later.

Interesting read…I had no idea this is even a thing. I formed a good friendship with a guy many years ago, but he negged me for the first few months we worked together, constantly telling me how surprised he was that I figured something out or got something done. I think we ended up bonding cuz I was in need of approval from a father figure, and he was about twelve years my senior. Thanks for posting this, it’s informative stuff.
Bullet dodged! Glad you got out of there early.
