There's a balance. Psychopaths won't let others influence them. Most others are not cold enough to remain unaffected with regular engagement. Even becoming friends and regular chatting opens the door to peer pressure. It's why I don't chat with people I don't want to be similar with.
I only chat with psychos. No risk there.
Honesty is interesting. Honesty is given to people we respect. The best manipulators are never honest. How people determine who is trustworthy is important too. Also, anything can be the truth when the perspective is changed.
Sometimes lying is the only way to reveal that people can be awful. It's important to demonstrate and model what a shitbag looks like. It opens the door to other possibilities. Then they ask, "Who else might be like that?"
It's a dangerous game. People should know they're playing.
Look up cult. Only cults encourage suicide. Most cult leaders are, in fact, men. Women do perpetuate suicide too, but men are more common and demonstrate a gender bias. Cult leaders never play the fool, it's quite hilarious. For what I do, these are the individuals I intentionally attract.
