Re: I think i lost my gf to an LGAT. Does depression follow lgat seminars for 'graduates'? Do lgat seminars enhance narcissism? New to LGAT, im hurting inside, help needed please!!

I think that another part of this may be that most people are recruited by people whom they already trust, or at least semi-trust, and that causes them to second-guess themselves.

If you already know someone, and have previously trusted their judgment, you sort of think, "If so -and-so recommends it, then it must be a good idea," or at least you trust that it will not be harmful. This can cause us to override our own intuition, I think. If not, and this person was previously your friend, you then have to entertain the idea that you're not a very good judge of character. I was told that, later.

The tricky part is that I feel that I did just fine judging the character of the person who recruited me, when I first met her. I think that LE CHANGES peoples'character, however. People who really were, at one time, trustworthy, suddenly are not.

You end up having to reassess whether or not your friends are trustworthy, and i just wasn't in the habit of doing that. Once I trusted someone, it took a lot to jolt me into distrusting them. They had to really cross some lines, and the person who recruited me crossed all of them.
