It really put me back on my heels.
I thought, That's bizarre. Why would you perceive that the relationships in your life are going to be used against you? And more importantly, why would you guide your life as if that were going to happen.
Maybe there's 1 person out of 100 who would use some personal info about you to their advantage and/or to your disadvantage. But think about the other 99 people. If that fear guided your life, there are 99 people you could have developed great relationships with. You'd miss so many opportunities.
Given that so many of us spend so much time in the work environment, if you showed up at work and were surrounded only by individuals who you kept at arms-length, where your relationships were purely transactional in nature, I just can't imagine that you'd have much success in your career or joy in your life.
