Are Sneaky People More Successful?
It comes a time in everyone's life that they come to know very special individuals who have so many masks. They can't figure them out. They just can't predict what this person is going to do next. Their intelligence, their know-how and how they make use of it, seems to be so carefully planned in every situation. Their powers of problem solving amazes you at times. They just know what to do in every situation and you would think that your strategies compared to theirs is just old and unpractical. You want to become as good as them in being sneaky, but you cant. You don't know how. You always wonder what they are up to. Sometimes this turns into an unhealthy obsession.
You ask yourself how they manage to control every situation and turn them around in their favor. The answer is that these people have learned to wear these many masks through mastering their skills at psychological manipulation. They separate their true identity from these masks and they use people's weakness against them. They have understood how the world works. They know the law and they know how to make use of it. You will never know what they are up to, because you never come to know their true identities. They are always one step ahead of you.
When they talk, they seem confident and this sense of confidence comes from how comfortable they are in their own skin. If they sense danger, they remove it. If they see that you will benefit them, they will keep you around and take care of you. But be careful because it will cost you in the long run if you don't have any plans to follow their believes and don't agree with their opinions. They have strong sense of perception and they are good judges of characters. If they see the need to be less confident, they will do so, but it is only temporary and when they get what they want out of the situation, you will see their true faces.
When we talk about how these people have many masks, it is apparent that they know when and where to act. Each mask shows a facet of their personality and this complexity of character doesn't come from comfortable life, it comes from hardship or knowing people who gone through hardship who shared their precious experiences with their trusted group of people.
They don't share their secrets for success with just anyone. They look welcoming and nice but they are very picky in whom they put their trust. They evaluate you before letting you into their life and see if you have the guts to be bold and sneaky like them. They believe that being successful takes guts and courage and they don't want to socialize with people who are needy or deep down don't want to be successful. They see it as a sign of weakness and if you have something of value to them, they will plan to take it from you and then they will leave you hot and dry. They feel a sense of pride in sabotaging the weak part of your personality.
These people see through bullshit immediately, but they don't act as if they know. They act based on what they think you might understand to be true so that they gain your trust faster. Usually they figure these out when they ask you smart questions to get you to say stuff about yourself that you don't normally say.
They know how to get rid of you if you don't serve any purpose to them. interaction with such people is difficult for people who are actually nice and kind because they don't have understanding of these kind of things on a deeper level. Their desire to act wear these masks kind of takes so much of their energy that there is no room to show kindness and love to other people. Don't expect them to show actual human emotion because they have limited supply of them.
