- People are more courteous than friendly;
- Meeting and lunch invitations dry up;
- Committee assignments dwindle;
- Proposals undergo perpetual study;
- Good deeds are forgotten;
- Promises are met with a small smile;
- Statements are questioned;
- Associates are suspect;
- Competence is discussed; and
- Promotions are dreams.
First step to recovery: Complete, direct, and sincere confessions and apologies.

I've noticed some have the gift of a Charismatic Teflon coating, but are generally secretly manipulative whereas others easily attract mistrust simply for being straightforward, honest and direct.....A quote I have often heard how can you trust anybody that won't drink with you (or doesn't drink)
Rob,
As the poet Elinor Wylie put it: "Beware the smooth, ambiguous smile with the lips that never part."
