The Narcissist attempts to belittle you at every opportunity. Deflated, you make a plan of how to minimise exposure to this person.
In another meeting, you are the target of passive-aggressive jabs. You know speaking up only makes you look bad. The aggressor is the manager's friend. They are a Protected Species.
The Storm Cloud enters the office in the form of a disgruntled staff member. Your best defense is to stay clear of their path of destruction.
Some tolerate the Narcissist, the Protected Species, the Storm Cloud, and, at times, seem to enjoy their company, leaving you even more confused.
But on closer inspection, you see something different. All is not as it seems. As those same patterns of behaviour appear, over and over, it becomes clear in your mind: It's not me. It's YOU.
Fortunately, there are also good people.
Like Sunshine, who brightens every room they walk into. The people you lean on, solid as a Rock. And genuine friends. You know the ones. They are fun to be around, make you laugh and look forward to the next time you see them. They are the keepers.
This book brings a multitude of such personalities to life.
