Recognizing a Poison Personality

Do you seem to be a poison personality magnet? If you have low self-esteem, you may be easy prey for a poison personality. They instinctively know how to play upon your insecurities to fulfill their own desires.

  • Are you naive or idealistic about human nature?

  • Do you look to others to validate your opinions?

  • Are you insecure or easily hurt by criticism?

You may be a target!

  • Be alert to manipulative tactics used by poison personalities:

  • Arguments promoting self-doubt.

  • Too-good-to-be-true scenarios

  • Assurances of trust

  • Disproportionate anger when confronted
