The Trouble With Quixtar: 5

By QBlog in

Because blogs are inherently conversational and generally informal I thought it might be fun for me to take a few days to work out some of my issues with Quixtar right here, in this public space. Some posts may not make a lot of sense on their own but I hope that as a collection these posts will all tie together to accurately describe what I call "The Trouble With Quixtar."

To keep things organized I'm titling each related entry The Trouble With Quixtar and then numbering them sequentially. Also, please understand that this is a personal effort for me to fully comprehend why I am unable to embrace Quixtar, or any MLM business. This is my personal struggle with Quixtar. > 4 <

I hate phonies. Phonies are people who never mean what they say and rarely say what's really on their mind. Fake. Disingenuous. Hypocritical. Phony.

I could almost swear that phonies exude some sort of malodorous scent which turns my stomach whenever one approaches. It takes a certain fortitude for me to endure even the briefest conversation with a phony without bursting into tears or projectile vomiting. I'm honestly not sure that phonies are even human though I've not discovered any empirical evidence to suggest otherwise. Call it a hunch.

I knew a guy in college who was a genuine phony. Circumstances were such that I was forced to interact with this young man on a daily basis. I observed him constantly defaming his own friends while bragging about his own accomplishments. He regularly lied and often cheated to get what he wanted. Yet, in spite of his mostly despicable characteristics, he was an extremely gregarious fellow and well-liked by seemingly everyone at school.

He was a stereotypical phony. I learned that it was best to avoid him because my nature is rather confrontational and I find it hard to be diplomatic in the face of such obvious phoniness. However, he wasn't representative of all phonies. Nope. Phonies come in all shapes and sizes. There is amazing diversity among phonies. Some are harder to spot than others but all share one defining characteristic. They never mean what they say and rarely say what's really on their mind.
