"Would You
Like to Avoid People's Games, Connect More Authentically With Others,
and Get the Social Life You've Always Wanted...?"
If
you've ever wanted to transform yourself from shy and socially awkward
into an amazing social leader, you're
about to learn information that will absolutely change your life...
CARLOS XUMA'S DESK: Friday, 5:43 PM.
The one skill that they don't teach you about in school
is also the one that will either make you a great success in life, or
struggle like crazy to realize your dreams... and you might never
reach them.
I'm going to tell you all about this skill in a second,
but first let me ask you a couple questions:
- Have you ever been in a social situation where you
just knew someone was messing with you,
but you didn't know what to do about it?
- Have you ever had someone in your family that just
knew exactly how to put you on the spot - and they'd leave you with
that shaky, angry feeling because you
knew you'd been made a fool out of?
- Have you ever known a person who could just predict
everything you were going to say, and leave you with no ammo at all,
and you felt like you were totally manipulated? And
FRUSTRATED?
- Did you ever suspect there are unwritten "rules" to
socializing that you just don't "get"? That if you just knew the
"rules" that these people are using for their games, you could at least
be on a level playing field?
- Do you ever feel like you've missed opportunities
with somebody - maybe a romantic interest - because you don't
have the right skills to respond correctly and make the
interaction "count" for more?
- Do you often feel like you're missing a depth and a
level of relationship connection that you
want to achieve because you don't understand how to get past your
partner's games?
Now, on the other hand, have you ever been with someone
who:
- Could de-fuse any confrontation and
make friends in the process?
- Could spot when they were being played
or manipulated - and somehow turn it back around on the other person?
- Always knew the right thing to say to
put someone in their place?
- Knew how to read a social situation in
just a few seconds and "feel out" everyone in the group?
I always wanted to be that person.
I was so shy growing up that I never really got an
understanding of social dynamics the way some people seemed to. They
always seemed so natural with it, too, which made it even harder to
believe that I'd ever figure it out.
A long while back, I remember going to a singles party where everyone
was really uptight and hard to talk to. I felt a little uncomfortable
because it felt like they weren't really there to meet people and have
fun.
You might recognize some of the clues I saw of weird "gamey" behavior
at this party:
- A lot of the guys were very aggressive and insecure...
- Many of the women seemed guarded and distant -
and I found myself suckered into buying drinks - without
getting any phone numbers...
- A lot of people seemed to push emotional buttons
on me like I was a remote control...
- Almost no one there seemed like they were there to have a good time...
they all seemed to have an agenda.
You probably figured this out already, but what I felt and didn't recognize
until later was this:
"Everyone Was
Playing Social Games With Me...!"
The experience felt so awful at the time, and the people seemed so difficult,
mostly because I didn't know how to handle it when people played
social games with me. The party probably wasn't as bad as I
remember it, but my social skills were.
And I've still found people like this lurking almost everywhere in
my life. At work, at the bars and clubs, at parties and social gatherings...
even at family gatherings.

I Think You've Felt This Before...
Maybe you've experienced something like my bad "party experience," or
even situations like this:
- - You go to a car dealership to shop around and you
don't want to buy anything, but after several hours you find yourself
driving home in a new car that you had no intention of buying. But he
made it sound so good, and you got a SWEET deal... How
did you fall for that...?
- - You're in a meeting with a co-worker, and she
starts to undermine your abilities and performance in the meeting, but
you can't figure out how she's doing it because she's not directly insulting you. What kind of Game is she playing...?
- - You're hanging out with your friends and someone
makes a sly comment about you, and they all chuckle. You go along with
it because you don't want to look like you're "uptight" or "un-cool."
But somewhere deep inside, you know you were just put-down... Do
you know how to deal with it...?
- - You're at a family get-together, having dinner
together, and your mother starts bugging you about your job, and
starting to manipulate you with guilt and fear. As usual, you end up
angry and blow up, and eventually you tell her to mind her own
business. You end up looking like the jerk, but it was the way
she did it that pushed your buttons... How do
you stop this from happening...?
- - You're out with a friend, and you see a couple of
women you want to go talk to. Finally your friend drags you over and
you start talking with them. The longer you talk, though, the more your
friend seems to be the one getting the attention, and you start getting
more and more quiet... How can you stop
feeling socially awkward and
stay in the conversation...?
I'm
pointing these situations out because I have been through ALL
of them. And every time one of them happened, I thought of the perfect
thing to say to handle the situation - only an hour too
late.
Wouldn't it be great if you could think of the right
thing to say in these situations to destroy the game-playing right
away - instead of later
as you're walking away...?
But This is
the REALLY Scary Part...
The games other people play with us are
NOTHING compared to the games we play on ourselves.
You see, there's two kinds of games going on out there -
the games we play with other people, and the ones we play in our own
heads.
You want an example of one that every guy can relate to?
You're talking with a woman at a bar, and the
conversation is going well. She obviously needs to leave, and you know
it's time to go for the close. So you ask her:
"Hey, can I have your
phone number to talk with you again? Maybe go out for a bite sometime?"
She tells you she's not home that much or she would give
it to you. "But give me your phone number and
I'll call you," she says. You give her your number, even though you
know at the back of your head that won't hear from her. You know - deep
in your gut - that you needed to just push a little more
for her number so that you could make that second
meeting happen.
But you gave in and wussed out.
What happened?
This is a classic game that a lot of guys play inside
their own heads where they will settle
for giving their own phone number on the wishful thinking that they
impressed her so much that she'll "definitely call!"
Even though we know that only 1 in 50 women ever will.
(Probably much fewer...)
It's a way for us to let ourselves down easy, and not
risk coming away with nothing at all for the time we spent talking to
her. After all, there's still a chance
she'll call... isn't there?
The skill of knowing how to handle your own internal
games is something called "intra-personal skills," and it's something I
will touch on again in a minute...
"Read My
Lips - No More Games...!"
I'm sick of all the games.
I bet you are, too, aren't you? And you're absolutely
right to be sick of them.
There's something else I want you to know that is VERY
important...
How you handle the social games people play will
determine:
- How much money you will make at your
job...
- The quality of person you date ...
and wind up marrying...
- How much fun you have when you go out
with friends...
- The depth and intimacy you have in
your relationships - with your family, your friends, and your lover...
- Your overall level of happiness,
security, and confidence that you experience every day...
Does that sound serious to you?
It should, because in nearly EVERY
study performed on the happiest,
the most successful,
the most fulfilled
people in the world, they all came back with the same finding, time
after time after time.
This probably won't come as a surprise to you, but the
discovery was this:
Your level
of:
*Happiness*
*Financial success*
*Inner Fulfillment*
*Quality of Life*
and how attractive you are to the opposite sex
is DIRECTLY related to how strong your social skills are...
This has nothing to do with
genetics, intelligence, or the forces that you might think of as being
"out of your control..."
It really has nothing to do with upbringing or social
status, either...
In nearly every
person with any great level of success and fulfillment in their lives,
the only thing that mattered was how
well they managed the other people in their lives.
WOW...
I was blown away when I discovered that, and it really
changed the way I looked at the world. For years I had believed that
there were certain people who were just luckier than others, or just
had the gift of "people skills..."
I thought that was why some guys just got more women
than others, and why some women are more successful with men. They must
be smarter or better
looking, and that's why they got more dates than me.
I just accepted this belief that these people had
something "special" - a natural talent that I
didn't have.
Every time I saw my friends being more successful with
socializing, being more popular with other people - and the more that I
didn't make friends, or attract women, or
make connections - the more I reinforced that false
belief.
What I didn't realize was that I was creating this flawed
foundation upon which my entire social life - and
even my dating life - was being built. It was shaky
and unsteady, and it couldn't possibly help me get the kind of
lifestyle I wanted to live.
Look, I have to admit something...
Until I was in my late 20s, I was socially CLUELESS.
I would go out and not have the faintest idea
of how to handle a conversation when I got into it. I usually ended up
talking about the one topic I knew the most.
You know how they say that you should "talk about what
you know about"?
Well the problem was, the only topic I talked about was ME.
I would just yammer on and on about my life and all
about me, not understanding how it was turning people off. Or
I just wouldn't see what was going on in the conversation to figure out
when I was being manipulated or de-valued.
I was making a lot of OTHER social
mistakes, too, without even knowing it...
This lack of social skill and ability was killing a BIG
part of my social life.
"The LESS
success I got socially, the MORE it seemed to lower my self-esteem in
other areas, too..."
And I would get VERY self-conscious in social situations,
because I always felt like other people were getting the better of me,
or that they were just waiting to use something I said against me in
some way.
This might sound a little paranoid, but when you don't
know how to handle people's games, you do start to get very defensive.
I even found myself becoming very
negative about people in general. I started
avoiding social situations because I didn't have a very good opinion of
other people. And I didn't have a good opinion because of how I felt
after talking with them or feeling like I was being "played."
For a while there I got pretty angry about it, too.
Maybe you've felt similar to this from time to time,
too. That other people are just flaky, manipulative, and
self-centered...?
And - even worse - you start to feel like you can't
trust anybody, either... You want
to, but you get a little frustrated because you can't figure out what's
going on in their games.
Now that I'm older, I can see these situations for what
they are, but I also realized this:
NO
ONE out there shows you how to spot these social games
and avoid them in the first place...
Really. Think about it:
 |
Has anyone ever sat you down and explained how people try to manipulate
you with guilt?
|
 |
Has anyone ever showed you how other people can trick you into doing
what THEY want you to do?
|
 |
Has anyone ever explained to you how people use your insecurities
and fears as a way to steer or control
you?
|
Nope.
Yet it's being done to you
all the time.
And usually you figure it out after
they've gamed you - after they got you to
do what they wanted, or after you say
what they want to hear, or you've given them what they want...
Then the next time it happens, it's a slightly
different situation, and you have to try and spot the
game all over again - but you still don't have a plan or
a technique to avoid playing it the next time it comes up.
And the worst part of this feeling I had about my social
ability was that I had NO IDEA where or
how to start turning it around. How do I learn these social skills that
I saw other people using all the time...?
These people seemed like such master
communicators with this GIFT for
handling people. I had no idea where to start learning how they do it.
After all, to get social skills and confidence, you need to hang out
and talk to people... and I didn't have the confidence to go hang out
and talk to people, so how could I ever get those skills...?
I was in a catch-22! It was a double-bind.
I had nowhere to get started, and I spent over
ten years in this frustrated state.
I literally felt like a rat in one of those mazes,
trying desperately to find the secret exit to get out. Because I knew
if I could just get a look at the maze from above instead of being
stuck IN it, I could find the solution.
Then I finally figured it out...
"The
Solution is to Get Altitude and Perspective Over the Problem..."
I finally found a way to get myself on track, but it took a
lot of work to figure it out - and it's not something I
would ever want you to have to find by trial and
error. I know it's not fun to beat your head against the wall just so
it feels good when you stop.
The good thing is that you don't have to go through that
pain.
If you're reading this right now, and
you can identify with any
of the situations I've just talked about, then what you're about to
read next is probably going to change your life - forever.
I'm not kidding - it's THAT
important.
You've probably experienced the frustration of being under
the spell of a manipulative person at some point,
haven't you?
It's disorienting and confusing, because you often
don't know how they managed to do to you
what they did, but you're left standing there, smacking your forehead
and feeling like you've been had.
You didn't see it coming, did
you?
I went through years and years of research trying figure
out what was happening in these social situations. I read TONS
of self-help books, and very few of them really had any real
explanation about what was happening. Nothing I found helped me to figure
out the "rules" of these games people play. I even went
to seminars on group and relationship dynamics, but no luck.
In the end, I didn't get almost any
of my strategies from those books or seminars.
I got these secrets from other PEOPLE.
I got very lucky to find some
friends who I knew had some very powerful - and yet compassionate
- methods for handling people who try to play games with you.
The funny thing was that when I pinned these "social
naturals" down to help me out, most of them didn't have
the slightest idea they were using social strategies
like this to manage game players and social manipulators. When I sat
them down and described some of the things I saw that they were doing,
they were as amazed as I was.
You see, they had learned these things on
an intuitive level that you and I never got to
develop.
If someone has won a social game situation, or avoided
a manipulator or a socially dangerous personality, they've used a
technique or tactic to do it. A "technique" is just knowing the right
thing to say at the right time.
But here's the best part:
If they have a method for handling social games, it can
be broken down, taken apart, and you can learn
it - just like any
other skill out there.
AND you can use them to destroy
the games you play in your own head, as well as the ones
other people play with you.
"Here Are 3
Game Playing Personalities You Must Be
Able To Spot Before They Manipulate You..."
As I studied these "naturals" at social strategy, there
were three general types of people that these social experts all seemed
to agree were the most dangerous - and
the most important to spot before they game you.
I want to tell you about all three right here so you can be on your
guard...
GAME
PLAYER 1: The Emotional Vampire
This is the person who we all know - usually a member of
our family - that seems to just drain us dry of our
energy. Every time you interact with them, your brain
feels like you've just gone through a six hour final exam in algebra.
You're sapped and depleted.
And you simply dread
talking to them.
Pretty soon, you just avoid being around them at
all, if you can help it.
Another part of you realizes that if you do avoid them,
then THEY are the ones who are still
winning the game, even without you around.
But a lot of the time, you can't avoid them because
they're your co-workers, or your family...
Sometimes it's the person you're in a
serious relationship with.
- How do you spot this
personality type?
Well, if you find yourself emotionally exhausted after
dealing with a certain person in your life, and they leave you feeling
worse than you did before you started talking with them, there's a good
chance this person is an emotional vampire.
They steal your energy with any number of subtle
maneuvers, most you don't notice until you're caught up in their game,
and by then it's too late.
Also, if you find yourself dreading or
resisting contact with this person because of the
emotional drain they put on your batteries, chances are they're a
vampire of some kind.
If you've ever seen a name come up on your phone and
you found yourself turning off the ringer without answering it, and
there was no reason you couldn't have taken the call - except maybe
that sense of avoidance - well, you
probably felt that person was going to be a potential vampire.
- How do you deal with them?
Don't let them get their teeth in your neck!
The best defense here is a best offense, which is made
up of my 3-part strategy:
1) Start by recognizing how they
work, and being prepared for them up front.
You need to recognize their game before they blow the
whistle and start the play. If you can't see what they're up to, you'll
probably find yourself just scratching your head later trying to figure
out how you got twisted around their finger...
2) Let them make their first
move...
You can't just try to beat them to the punch, or the
social player will just switch to a new tactic. You have to let them
show you their cards, and then you can choose your own strategy.
3) And Then WATCH
and MANAGE their play...
When they've revealed their cards, you can then use your
own skills to create your own winning hand. (Okay I'm done with the
game metaphors. Mostly.) Once you have them invested in their approach,
you can then use it to steer the social dynamics toward a win-win
finish.
That's the really special thing about what I teach you -
you're going to learn how to get BOTH you
and them to win!
What if you run into someone that doesn't just drain
your energy, but they try to get something from you?
This is the next kind of gamer...
GAME PLAYER 2: The
Emotional Blackmailer
This type of social game player plays games as a form of
extortion - to
get favors, or any number of possible rewards they can pull from the
situation.
We've all played this one at some point or another. In
its most innocent form, you may have just wanted to get a little
appreciation from someone in your life.
Have you ever done a favor and said, "Oh, it was nothing..."
but what you really wanted to hear was how it was a big something
to the other person?
That's a small kind of game. Innocent enough, but still
a game.
Maybe you've met this kind of person:
- The woman who gets you to do favors for her because
you fear being rejected or emotionally abandoned...
- The aunt that calls you up in the middle of the day
to get your help running errands (when you already had things to do),
but you can't refuse her because she would gossip to
everyone else in your family about just how
"thoughtless" and "heartless" you are...
- The girlfriend who knows how to stroke your ego at
the right time to make you feel manly one minute, but then she knows
how to start withdrawing her approval and withholding
affection because she knows you'll work hard and do
whatever she wants to get it back...
- The guy in a relationship that criticizes
his girlfriend constantly to play on her insecurities
and make sure she won't leave him...
- The manager who knows exactly how to make you afraid
that your performance appraisal will be bad if you don't help his team
out on their 'special project'... After all, you
don't want to appear uncooperative, do
you?
All of these people are playing a powerful kind of
emotional game with us - Blackmail.
What they do, through some subtle - and sometimes not-so-subtle games
is put us in a position where we are forced to do something to avoid a
nasty embarrassment of some kind.
The reason they do this is sometimes people don't know
the healthy way of getting what they want, so they use this game on us.
They may not mean to play a game, but it comes out anyway.
- How do you spot this
personality type?
If you feel like you did something against your will to avoid
a negative outcome - an outcome that the other person
could control - then chances are you were blackmailed.
- How do you deal with them?
The best offense is a great defense, and especially so
with this type of game player.
Keep your eyes open, and don't let their actions fly
under your radar. Very often, the emotional blackmailer loses their
ability to control you or manipulate you when you expose
their game out into the open.
But there's a particularly nasty game player that doesn't
try to hide it. In fact this type flaunts their power over you. It's
the...
GAME PLAYER 3: The
Emotional Bully
Just like the bully on the playground, this is the
person that pushes you around and uses you to achieve their own goals
and ends.
- Maybe this is the person at work that pushes you into
helping them for fear of their influence and power -
or their ability to damage your career...
- Maybe this is the guy you met while you're out at a
club, and he intimidates you with his overbearing personality - or embarrasses
you in public so that he can push you out of the
picture, meet the woman you're with, and steal her for himself...
- Maybe this is the woman that creates uncomfortable
social situations - like crying fits or emotional
tantrums - to get you to give in to her demands...
Quite honestly, these people can also be emotional
terrorists.
Look, I know how charged a word that can be... Terrorist.
Ouch.
I even debated mentioning it at all, but when I wrote it
down, I knew that I was just telling the Truth.
(NOTE: When you're pushed
into shame about your politically "INcorrect"
views or comments, this is also a form of game playing and emotional
manipulation that people will often use to control you.)
- How do you spot this
personality type?
The Emotional Bully is the kind of person can literally make
your life a living hell with constant demands, emotional
tirades, and total unpredictability. They
leave you with a feeling of dread and anxiety 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.
If you find yourself feeling this way, or pushed into
doing things for another person frequently, you're probably in a
relationship with a bully.
- How do you deal with them?
If you sense that you might be dealing with an emotional
bully, remember that these covert abusers are often very good at
covering their tracks, so other people might not see
what you are experiencing. The best way to start is to
make a note of abusive incidents so that you can review them later on
when your head is clear.
One thing that you must get in the habit of doing is to
not let the emotions of a game playing situation run away from you so
that you react badly and only make your situation worse.
But the good news is that the emotional bully responds
to some very simple strategies that end
their games FAST. They are, in fact, one
of the easiest game players to deal with once you've identified them.
Is There
Any Hope...?
What I thought was just one problem - not having social
skills - was actually TWO problems in
one.
The first problem was that
I wasn't SEEING the games people were
playing and what they were doing.
The second problem was that
even if I did identify what they were doing, I didn't know what
to do to avoid being manipulated.
I am excited to say that there is a happy ending to this
story. For both me and you.
With all that I've told you, you might be thinking that
everyone is out to get you, just waiting to make your life a living
hell.
Don't get paranoid. That's not true at all. Most
of the social gamers are not playing you intentionally,
even when it seems like they are.
You see, these game-playing people didn't grow up with a
big fat reference book on their shelf called "How
to Play Games With People." They weren't taught
how to play games...well, at least not directly.
We learned how to play games and manipulate like this
from examples of other people. Usually by our families.
We saw what worked and what didn't to get results, and we adopted those
strategies.
Let's face it:
Any situation where
you're being emotionally manipulated is an opportunity for you to shine
- IF you know how to handle the game player, and
WHAT TO SAY to end the confrontation correctly...
And the cool thing is...
"Now you
can learn how to manage people like this - or avoid the games and
manipulation entirely..."
Oh, and an even cooler
part of this is that once you can spot the games other people are
playing, you can also get rid of your
games.
Ahem ...
Yes,
you play games, too. We all do.
Once you accept this and learn the rules, the games
aren't a problem anymore.
In fact, you'll find yourself looking forward to finding
new and more intricate situations to figure out for yourself. It sounds
funny, but you'll actually feel excited to go
find new and interesting people to talk with and get to know, because
you'll feel so confident and capable in your social
ability.
It actually becomes FUN to
play with people and get into social dynamics - no matter what
kind, because you know that whatever someone can come up with, you
have an arsenal of social skills of your own to handle
them. And your social network will explode without you even realizing
it.
And The
Most Important Part is This...
When you have developed these social skills, you'll find
that you can actually connect with people
on a much deeper and more AUTHENTIC level
than ever before.
I noticed that when I would talk to people, and I could
get past the games, I was able to really establish an indestructible
sense of rapport.
This
happened with women, men - everyone I socialized
with.
It got to the point where I had to start being very
careful with this skill because people were forming some unhealthy
dependencies on me. One woman even told me she felt like I understood
her ten times more than her therapist...
Yikes!
You see, it's not just about dealing with all the people
out there as potential enemies that you have to protect
yourself against. I don't want you to think that I'm going
to teach you how to be a fortress of solitude and lack that human
compassion...
This is really about developing your vital social powers
to the point where you can actually let down your guard
and get REAL with people like you never
thought possible.
Most people don't realize just how counter-productive
and unnecessary their social games are, and they
desperately need the other person to help them get past the games.
That person can be YOU.
|
Did You Know...?
- If you're a social introvert, that does
not mean you're shy and socially clueless... it just
means that you get your energy from being alone rather than being in a
big group of people. Unfortunately, being an introvert can lead to
being social handicapped later on, so its important to understand how
to work with your personality type...
- The worst
thing you can do to a socially manipulative person is expose
them. If you do, most often they will find a way to
retaliate, or cause you even more problems down the road. Which is why
you must know the strategies I teach to handle them...
- There are only 6 types of
social game player personalities, and that's ALL.
Once you learn what they are, you can avoid being manipulated or hurt,
and you can almost always get to a winning solution for both of you...
- If you understand these basic social skills,
you create a "template" within your mind that allows you to handle
any relationship - with any person...

"Here's
Something Truly Unique And Incredible For Your Social Skills..."
Until now, there was NOWHERE
you could go to learn social skills and abilities like the ones I've
discussed here.
You either had "it" or you didn't... and if you didn't,
the only way you could figure these skills out was to be as
thick-skulled as I am and spend years
figuring it all out on your own.
A moment ago I told you about how I managed to capture
some of these "natural" people - the men and women that are socially
successful in any situation. They are like chameleons, able to blend
into any social situation and make it
work for them.
Well, their knack for social power can also work for YOU.
I managed to capture their techniques and
their social strategies for you to learn.
What I did was create a home-study audio program where
you can learn these Power Social Skills
in your car, on the bus, or anywhere you like.
I just put the finishing touches on a personal
development program called the "Power
Social Skills - Social Dynamics" Program -
where I will teach you how to handle or destroy any
social games, avoid manipulation, identify the dangerous personalities
out there, and get REAL & AUTHENTIC connection with just about
anyone.
This program is the very first of its kind,
designed from the ground up to help you overcome any of your social
limitations and pull you out into the world like never before.
This program was created and structured to help you go
from wherever you may be in your social abilities - from poor to
average, or even good social ability - all the the way to COMPLETE SOCIAL MASTERY.
Unfortunately, most men and women NEVER
learn more than a small fraction of the information that I've put
together in this program - if they learn any of it at all.

program, I devoted 5
whole discs to cover all the tricky
tactics and devices people will use to influence you and
turn you around. When I let a few of my friends listen to them, every

You've probably played more than your fair share of
these social games with people before. You may have noticed their
games, or more likely you didn't even see them
coming.
You may have been manipulated by this game player, or
you might have gotten out of the game by luck.
But one thing is for sure:
Once you've listened to this program, you
won't be pulled into them again.
How You Can
Know If This Program Is For You...
There's an important reason why I feel that EVERY
person out there needs to have a copy of this program, and I'll come
back to this in a moment.
First, you need to know if this is a program that will
work specifically for YOU.
Read these questions - either aloud or in your head -
and answer them. As you go through each one, you'll find yourself
thinking about how your life will be different when you're able to
solve these situations on your own...
- Does it feel like when you meet people out in
social situations that you have ALMOST NO ability to
really connect with them? Or worse, they just don't seem
to want to start a friendship of any kind
with you?
- Do you ever feel frustration
when you're manipulated by other people, and knowing that if you could
just figure out how to respond, you could avoid
the pain and make things work better for
you - AND for them?
- Do you worry about getting too
"close" to people, because the more that you open
yourself up to them, the more power you could be giving them to
possibly hurt you or manipulate you down
the road?
- Do you find yourself getting angry
at someone you feel has manipulated you ... and the next minute you're
the best of friends again when they figure out how to
push your buttons and win you over again? You hate
yourself for it, but you can't help it... they're just so
good at playing you.
- Do you ever experience sadness or
frustration that you're not able to connect with people
on a meaningful level that feels REAL to
you?
- Do you ever feel like some people are just "fake,"
even though you know there is something more going on under the surface
- if you could just get past all their tricks and game-playing?
- Do you ever feel slighted or hurt when you know
other friends are getting called to participate in events, but you're
not included on those plans, and you think that it might
have something to do with how social you are?
- Have you ever felt "lost" in a conversation, not
knowing what happened - but that something DID
happen and you missed out on the subtle clues?
- Do you feel like you repeat your interactions with
people again and again, not being able to figure out how to break
the unhealthy cycle of arguments, games, or weirdness
with them?
- Do you feel like you're not on a level playing
field with the opposite sex, or your family, or other people who play
you all the time - and you feel at a constant
disadvantage?
- Do you often feel that a lot of the games people
are playing can be pretty innocent at heart, even unintentional, but
they could also be steered to a much better ending - helping both of
you win the game?
- Are you frequently caught off guard
by questions from people, not sure how you should
respond to them? Or if there's a meaning below the surface of what
they're asking you?
- Do you feel uncomfortable with
confrontations and awkward social situations?
- Do you feel like you could repair or
improve relationships with people in your family - or
even friends - if you could just figure out how to communicate better
with them?
- Would you like to get more romantic
connections and dating opportunities?
- Would you like to make more friends
by having better social skills and more authentic interactions with
other people?
- Would you like to feel the happiness
and confidence of being more skilled with social
interactions, knowing that you can get the results you want?
- Wouldn't it feel fantastic to get phone calls all
the time from other people asking you to go out with them and enjoy
new experiences, and have so many people calling that
you have trouble finding the time to get together with them all?
The reason I asked about those situations is because I
feel that most everyone - men and women- have had similar experiences
or felt this way at some point or another.
"Sometimes
we've felt the pain of these situations much more than we care to
admit..."
And each of those situations I just described just leads down a longer
road of frustration and unhappiness when you realize
that you're not getting any better at handling the game players and
manipulators. And that you can't seem to connect with people the way
you'd like.
These are also the problem situations that
I personally had to overcome.
I isolated these particular situations because these are
just some of the ones that we'll tackle in the Power
Social Skills - Social Dynamics Program. We'll be able
to resolve them and get you feeling comfortable in any social
situation, confident that you will NOT be
gamed ever again.
As I mentioned before, if you have social challenges of
any kind, then they will always be the limiting part of your
relationships with other people - just like the weakest
link in a chain determines its strength.
If you don't build your relationships with other people
on a strong foundation of powerful social skills, you'll always be
trying to "catch up" to other people ... and you'll probably feel way
behind in your ability to manage the games people try to
pull you into.
This may seem like a huge area to tackle - your social
skills - but fortunately when you address just a few key areas, as we
will in this program, the rest will actually take care
of themselves along the way.
If you found yourself relating to ANY
of those situations, and if you've ever wanted to discover how to
relate better to the important people in your life, then you owe it to
yourself to try my Power Social Skills - Social Dynamics
Program.
I really feel this is the most exciting thing I've
created in the last ten years of helping people with their
relationships and understanding interpersonal dynamics.
Here
Are a Few Success Stories From My Students...
"It's
happened to you... And, as much as I hate to admit it. It's happened to
me, too.
For the last few days, you and your girl have been walking on
eggshells. You had a conversation that left you at a standstill. You're
both feeling angry and a bit frustrated...
She wants to go on a weekend trip with the girls to Vegas. Usually it
would be no problem, but this weekend you have something planned...
You want to go skiing, or have a hot weekend at home... the list goes
on and on... and on.
One day, she surprises you. She sends you flowers at work, signed with
a card saying 'I love you!' You get home from work and find that she's
made your favorite dinner. You sit on the couch enjoying a glass of
wine, she starts to massage your shoulders... You're thinking how
wonderful your girl is...
And, she has you - right where she wants you...
Then she asks, 'Is it okay if I go away with the girls?'
You want to say 'No' but you can't. She's done all these nice things
for you and you don't want to come off like a needy guy and you
definitely don't want to come off like a jerk. So, instead you
say...'Sure.'
And you HATE yourself for it. Why...?
Because you've been manipulated,
duped... You've been 'played'.
I recently had the opportunity to learn about these social situations -
these "social games" -
through Carlos Xuma's audio program 'Power Social Skills'.
And I have to say that it's eye opening... maybe even life changing!
There's so much packed in this program...
From the psychology of the manipulator or the 'player' to the games
being played on you to the rules of the games to effective strategies
on how to survive the game...
If I'd had a program like this earlier in my life, I know that I'd have
stronger, genuine and lasting connections in all my relationships.
Relationships with family and friends and women that weren't based on
false pretense, false hopes and expectations.
But, it's not too late. I listen to Carlos' words and
advice on a daily basis - learning and growing. Applying
all the useful information to every aspect of my life, whether it's
dealing with my EX, my mother, my brother, or my boss at work. I try
and turn every interaction, especially if it's negative, into a
situation that I can walk away from like I wasn't being 'played...'
It's a program that is totally uniqu | |
