Not everyone in this life is on our side. Some people merely use us. They take advantage of us, play games with us, and outright lie to us. Fake flattery, false criticism, and false praise are all ways to control us.

In truth, people frequently take advantage of others to further their agendas at the expense of others, frequently without the intended victim’s knowledge.

Although it may seem sad to you that this is happening in our society, it has been going on for thousands of years. Why? Because it is a characteristic of all people, whether consciously or unconsciously, we all occasionally engage in it.

Learn these 10 reasons why individuals use others by reading this article, along with advice on how to avoid them.
