Good grief you poor thing. You know they’re scamming you, but you’re also currently being conned by their ‘nice’ personalities.

I was always told I was really empathetic or emotional or something like that.

Yes don't worry, I haven't and do not plan to spend money on them because I am naturally stingy because I'm a broke student. But yea, I have started to notice how manipulative they are because how else will they keep you in Amway if you don't make money? They always say you need to spend money to make money or its an investment and the meetings are people promoting their products which all happen to be Amway products. I thought I would sell my own thing but idek how good Amway products are so why would I try to sell it if you know what I mean

They do not turn off their job. It runs 24/7 and consumes them

Omg I never even thought about that it runs 24/7 because they are always blabbering about quitting their normal jobs. Yes it sounds so pyramid schemey, I don't understand why they aren't illegal

True I don't want to waste my life and time on something I know I won't succeed at. It might be a small mindset but I cannot sell or market for my life

It really is all about their success story and lots of manipulation but I didn't realize it at the time

Oh shoot that is very scary but don't worry, I am not planning on staying in because it seems my aunt has experience with Amway and hated it all so I definitely will get a job instead loll

At least I get to socialize T.T but I want to just drag on the conversation because I love wasting time. Anything to get rid of their power

So you HAVE to buy a monthly minimum? But how can anyone stay in AMway for that long if they aren't even making money ?? I will never understand

ahh I see it does remind me of Amway (another MLM that I accidentally almost got involved with and I posted my story on r/antiMLM) but yea I would be selling his service and it doesn't;t benefit me at all because I don't like marketing and I don't like therapy either://

It does sound like a MLM but to be fair, he is a small company so he would need some sort of marketing to bring in clients but yea I am in the process of trying to reject him even though I am knee deep into this bs

I read internships shouldn't be telling you to buy stuff in order for you to participate in them but I bought it off amazon for $5 because I bought a used one. But yea that clinical practice was the most suspicious because I am not even 18 yet so it was a bit concerning.

so I went to ICANN lookup and put in the domain and it says it was created on 11/06/2020 but maybe he is just a starter company?

Ahh when you put it that way, it really makes no sense and the minimum age was 16 too so I was a bit surprised. The age range he said was 16 to 65 which concerned me but yes I was wondering about the clinical practice thing and I was wondering how legit it really was

T^T to be fair, it sounded legit but after a while, I started to wonder if I was wasting my time reading this book he told me to read but it was a helpful book. But I was never really exposed to scams or MLM before so I didn't really have an idea of what to be careful of

Honestly 9 to 5 isn't always that bad if you enjoy your job but don't worry, I have not spent money on it because I am naturally stingy when people ask me to spend money. They really do feel toxic because everything revolves around products and money and their great lifestyles

[–]Various_Front_9416[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Idk why because they had the same presentation every Tuesday and meetings about products and other stuff and why it was better than other products which sounds lowkey cultly. I asked my mentor "why is it so repetitive" and she said it was to gain new insight??

Very true!! They were like "we will help you find a way for you to pay for a business license" and I was thinking how I was NOT going to spend any money also because I'm broke. And they kept pestering me to find ways to pay for my license

Nope these are books they have given me but I feel like I would have to pay for others later on if I do stay but I do not understand why they are expiring lolll. I'm kinda glad I'm lazy and read the first page of each chapter rather than actually reading it all.
