Have you ever been a victim of NLP?

Well, I guess everyone today has been a victim of it. Neuro Linguistic Programing is a very effective tool used by Intelligence agencies, Ad agencies, the media, the governments etc. It has been in use since very very long time but the name NLP has been given only a few years back. I would say it is good thing if used appropriately to disseminate knowledge, information and rules to lead a good life in oredr to make this world a better place for all.

I think we have all been there.\n\nI have a co-worker that just cannot accept responsibility when she screws up.  It's maddening.\n\nSo.....I went onto MSN and found an article about working with difficult people, it described her to a "T" and I typed up a label and mailed it to her.\n\nShe was furious but it brought the issue into the open as she was trying to find out who did it and therefore we were able to discuss WHY someone would do that.  We also made her "put the shoe on the other foot" and think of how she would feel if she had to work with someone that treated her co-workers the way that she did.\n\nShe's still difficult and a witch most of the time but at least she thinks about her actions a little more.\n\nGood luck, there's one at every workplace.

I've had two. One because the person wanted to get back at me for not answering the question the way they wanted me to. The second one made no sense. To avoid anymore violations, I changed my name and avatar, in case anyone was stalking my name.

Yes, a few times.  Once I was in a car accident where my car was side swiped.  There were 3 passengers in my car, all of whom were injured and required hospitalization.  I refused transportation to the hospital by ambulance, believing I wasn't injured.  Then the paramedic, told me to look at the front of my shirt which was covered in blood.  At the same time, he reached down and picked something up off of the pavement.  It was my ear!  I immediately fainted and assumed I was loaded on the ambulance because when I woke up I was on a gurney in the hospital awaiting surgery!

I remember when I got in trouble for answering a question CORRECTLY.  I think the teacher felt threatened because I had a better understanding of English (the subject, not the language) than she did.  My parents are both former English teachers, what can I say?  She was talking about something and said "I can't remember what it's called when you can spell a word the same forward and backward."  I answered that is was a "palindrome."  She said, "Oh, I remember now.  It's a homophone!"  I answered, very respectfully, that a homophone is something that sounds the same.  (homo=same, phone=sound)  She snarled at me and told me to go look it up.  I was right, and ever since that day, she tried to make everything harder on me, or would make sarcastic comments like "What do YOU think, smarty-pants?"  Still made an "A", and thank God I only had her one year.

I don't use netspeak, and it does affect my perception of the poster. I tend not to take a question as seriously if it's written with poor grammar and silly abbreviations. \n\nThe exceptions are posts that seem to me to have been written by non-native English speakers. As a former ESOL teacher, I have a lot of compassion for those trying their best to express themselves in this sometimes difficult language!\n\nI answer questions in a serious and thoughtful manner because I want to be taken seriously. It's difficult to take someone seriously if they answer with, "i dont no wat to say but im really bored an i want mor points so pik my answer to your? K."\n\nMy particular pet peeves include "your" being confused with "you're", "there" being confused with "their" apostrophes in the wrong place; used when not needed; or eliminated when needed, and incorrect use of capitalization.\n\nCall me *nal-retentive - LOL!\n\n(oops - I let a little netspeak slip out!)\n\nHTH,\n\nJennyinJamaica

Unfortunately, this has happened to me a lot throughout my life, then i had to wise up about it.  Now my motto is: "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness!"

No.  I try not too but I have snapped at a few in irritation & then if I felt bad about it, I contacted them privately if they allowed it & apologized.  If not, then I went back and Edited my answer, or deleted it.

FEAR OF SPEAKING IN PUBLIC.  This was really bad - I was even afraid of interviews (that's only one person), so I guess I was afraid of strangers, especially a whole bunch of them in an audience.  Yes, I conquered it. How?  I tried just trying to relax, think of the audience as just some people similar to me (didn't work for me.)  I was a basket case, couldn't even SIT in class and take my turn reading something out loud. Tried a tranquilizer too.  You can't fool your defense mechanism, and after a couple of years I discovered that what I was afraid of was being nervous and obvious, like shaking head, hands, weak legs, hard to talk, so that made me nervous and therefore afraid.  I went to a seminar designed to bully you into ridding your fear.  Long story short, I joined a Toastmasters' Club, shook with nervousness the first time the Table Topics leader called on me to give an opinion on the day's topic, I was so embarrassed.  But I went to all the meetings, did my speaking assignments, and overall it worked great, took about a year to gain the confidence I needed.  Won some speech contests beyond the club setting, held office in the club, and even became president.  My phobia stemmed from childhood feelings of inadequacey, inferiority, being afraid whether my mother approved of what I did.  Well, we're adults now, and have to just go forward.  Yes, I'm sure I'm not still bugged by it, because I've had plenty of experience in not being afraid. But I know what you mean.  In the beginning even after successes, I'd always think, "What if I'm afraid again?"  I would think of my successes, no matter how big or small.  Then I decided, "Well, if I do, I'll just speak anyway, the nervousness will go away and not be noticeable."  I also learned that when extremely nervous, we try to hold ourselves stiff so as not to shake, especially the head and neck.  We don't breathe enough, and that makes it worse.  Long winded, aren't I?  Just wanted to help.

It has happened to me too. However, I count those email nastygrams as a victory.  Look at it this way, you spoke about  whatever opinion so well that you messed with someone else's comfort level.  You have provoked them to think.

NLP is a study of how language both verbal and non-verbal affects the nervous system and in turn our performance\n\nNLP can change anything you've ever wanted to change in your life! Don't take my words for it... go find out on Google by keying in the word 'NLP'\n\n*btw its called NEURO not NEURON

When i accidentally hit my bf while flicking my hair.  Yes i was really sorry.\nWhen i spilled coffee on the counter.  Yes i was really sorry.\nWhen i have a car accident and it's my fault..yes i am really sorry.\nWhen i flipped through slides too fast for other people to follow.  I said i was sorry as i went back to let them catch up (i am a teacher and use power points)\nWhen i had to cancel a date with a friend because my bf's car was in the shop.  Not really sorry then, i really don't like that friend that much and was just as happy to skip the activity.  More of a social nicety to say it.\n\nAlso in my emotional life i do not conduct myself in a way that i have to apologise for.  I don't yell or belittle people or get drunk and throw up on people's carpet.  Most of the things i apologise for are somewhat inadvertent.
