"When you live, work, communicate or play with some people, there is something they do to match your expectations. If you expect calmness from living with them, they will be calm. If you expect agreement from working with them, they will always say yes. If you expect a smile from communicating with them, they will smile. If you expect fun from playing with them, they will act it. In life, at times, many people approach you from what they know you like and expect and they give themselves to being like what you expect. They pretend first to gain your friendship. This is a good strategy used against two popular groups: good people and leaders. Women do it to good men. Men do it to good women. Many people do it to leaders. There are things that pretentious people gain from associating with you. It could be meeting your high status friends if you are a leader. It could be because of the people in your life that they admire or the things you have. It could be information they need to accomplish something. This is a warning to good people that give out ideas easily. They are there to earn your trust which gives them access to your world. Planned pretence is what they use. It is planned pretence because they have known your heart, what you can or cannot do and what you expect from others. Beware of people who play along all the time. Beware of people who say yes to everything you say or do. Beware of people who keep mute in a meeting but turn orators when you are alone with them. They use what you expect to manage you. If you have pretentious friends, you will experience the robbery of a precious thing in your life from them. You are the one that will give them the keys but you will feel like you were robbed when they fulfill their mission. Pretentious people become like what you want. Their aim is to enter your life and take as much as they can."
