[MLM Survivors Club] Re: I'm out . . .

And PW, the connection between low self-esteem and MLM? Here are
some examples:

"I hated the feeling that everyone was a prospect and if I wasn't
sharing the Arbonne story with someone everyday, and for sure
everyone that I came into contact with, then I wasn't a good
person."

"I slowly began to feel like if I wasn't rah-rah-rah about Arbonne,
pounding the pavement to sign up new people, launching new business
builders, etc, then I wasn't much of a person."

"No more opening my calendar and feeling guilty and ashamed and
worthless"

Those are from DukeBoyz01's original post - and that's the most
recent of thousands on this forum.

Now tell me you don't recognise lack of self-esteem in those quotes?
If you do, are we saying that MLM takes happy, self-assured people
and turns them into people who feel worthless and ashamed? Or does
it prey on people who struggle with that in the first place? I
think it's an important question to ask - even if it's not a
comfortable one.

Hey-now wait a second here. Don't try to put a label on me based on
reading my first post-especially when I clarified it later. Who are
you to say that I had low self-esteem to begin with, and then it was
magnified after my involvement in a MLM? I said twice that that
wasn't the case. But, oops, guess you know me and my situation
better than I do. My words were not put on here so you could
isolate them and make a point that me and thousands of others were
just swimming in a sea of self-doubt until our savior MLM came along
to rescue us. From now on, I will speak for myself, I really don't
need your interpretation of my personality.
