I think I'm still confused.
You think that the inability to say "No" equates with low self-esteem?
No one really wants to say "No," especially to a friend who happens
to be trying to recruit you.
It seems to me that it takes a person with pretty good self-esteem to
even consider the prospect of owning a business and chasing one's
dreams. It strikes me that the people with low self-esteem are the
ones who said "No," because they felt they could never do that. Or
perhaps they were already wise to the scam.
I'm afraid I don't get the connection between being recruited into MLM
and low self-esteem or self-hatred. And I'm also at a loss to point
to anyone in this group who has shared a personal story and has
demonstrated anything akin to low self-esteem. Do you have some
examples that would demonstrate how you arrived at your conclusions?
