Weird New Friendliness: What's Going On?

In summary, the conversation is about a woman who has suddenly started behaving friendly and is emailing to chat about DC, congratulating the speaker on the growth of their team, and asking about a recent meeting. The speaker's upline may have talked to her about her behavior and the speaker is advised to stay strong and not invite her back into their meetings. There is speculation that she may be bipolar and that she may be asking for something from the speaker. The speaker's son and the woman's son get along well and they may run into each other at events in DC. There is also a suggestion to have the woman train a new downline consultant.

She's been all friendly all-of-a-sudden.
Emailing to chat about DC, congratulating me on the growth of my team, asking how my meeting went, etc.
Weird weird...
 
Someone in your upline must have talked to her about the fact that you are her asset and she better change her ways. Don't invite her back into your meetings! Be strong girl!


...I know you will treat her well. You're too nice. But don't let this trick you into submission.
 
It always sounded like she was a manipulative emaotional roller coaster. I guess it is "high" time.
Stay strong!

Yeah - I am guessing she had a come-to-Jesus talk from our NED and she probably had her meds adjusted as well.

STILL KEEPING MY MEETINGS SEPARATE FOR SURE!
 
Is she bipolar?
 
Wow....stay away, stay far away....
 
What Deb said...
 
She sounds a lot like my brother who has been diagnosed with bipolarism. He will take his meds for a while and then feels good enough to go off them which usually turns into a huge high for a day or two and then an extremely low for about a week. I love him, but I can't be around him unless he is on his meds. :(

Count me a cynic, but I bet she's going to be asking you for something soon.

I'm with everyone else: stay away...far away. (Especially while in DC...it's supposed to be fun after all!)

I think she just wants to be able to hang out together in DC. Our sons get along well. I know mine has been asking if her son is going to be there in DC. I am sure hers has been asking the same. We are tied up with family obligations the first two days there and will probably only run into her and her family at the breakfasts and other events.

If you are uncomfortable with someone's overly friendly behavior, it is okay to politely but firmly set boundaries and let them know their behavior is not acceptable. You can also remove yourself from the situation if necessary.

Genuine friendliness is about being kind and respectful towards others without invading their personal space or making them feel uncomfortable. It's important to be aware of social cues and boundaries and to always ask for consent before initiating physical contact or sharing personal information.
