DANCE TIP: Sometimes you encounter people via belly dancing who are NOT treating you in a healthy way. They could be teachers, vendors, classmates, event organizers, restaurant owners, etc. Watch for these warning signs, and take steps to protect yourself emotionally if you realize you are dealing with one of them: * They repeatedly dismiss it when you say no to something they are trying to get you to do for them. * They typecast you: Youre just like so-and-so... (Its a manipulation technique, trying to manipulate you into thinking you have to prove you are NOT like so-and-so). * Theyre very charming and have a lot of charisma, but they use it primarily in self-serving ways. * They try to control you by using their friendship or approval as a reward when you obey them, and withholding it when you dont. * They try to make you feel guilty about standing up for yourself. Are there additional warning signs YOU think should be on the list? What techniques have YOU found effective in dealing with these behaviors when you encounter them?
