Leverage

I do not like this game where people pry at others’ weak spots and insecurities in an attempt to upend sense of security and manipulate their obeisance.

It’s a cheap-shot cheat around engaging in honest communication and putting in the needed effort it takes to achieve collaborations.

This approach is degrading to the person it is inflicted upon – and quite honestly, doing this to another person is deplorably self indulgent, and just plain lazy.

Any gains now only create greater losses in the future, for a relationship built on such negative behavior is doomed for eventual failure.
