PUA in the workplace is not just a simple workplace bullying, but a means to destroy the self-esteem of others and make them dependent on others through verbal and behavioral manipulation. Its core is to take advantage of the weakness of human nature, and to manipulate and mentally exploit it.
Dependent self-esteem PUA: This type of PUA often creates a sense of dependence by giving the other person a high evaluation and making the other person feel very important. But in reality, such evaluations are often not based on facts, but are intended to manipulate the other party.
Independent self-esteem PUA: This PUA emphasizes personal improvement and ability improvement, making the other person feel that only through continuous effort and change can they be recognized. But this recognition is also fake, and the purpose is to plunge the other person into self-doubt and anxiety.
Unconditional self-esteem PUA: This kind of PUA often uses the name of "for your good" to let the other person focus on the thing itself, ignoring their own feelings and needs. On the surface, it seems to be caring, but in fact, it deprives the other party of their sense of self-worth.
