I don’t trust people who use NLP like some bizarre slight of hand trick. What’s weird is that to me I basically can’t understand what they’re saying when they’re trying out their funny techniques - I find that very funny. I just politely ask them to try to rephrase.
It was in a conversation about NLP that my psychologist friend first said ‘mate I think you’re on the spectrum’. I know two people who try to pull it regularly and it just feels gross.
