1. All backstabbers share a common denominator; they all want something from you.
A place to trash, your style, practically anything, varies from person to person.
2. Be aware of your surroundings.
If you have a bad feeling about somebody, listen to your instincts!
3. Pay attention to red flags.
If somebody betrays you, don't trust that person again without extensive consideration.
4. If the other person doesn't have friends of his or her own, there may be a reason.
Perhaps other people know something that you don't.
5. If someone is mean to you one minute and nice to you the next,
there is definitely something wrong.
6. If someone is too aggressive or tries to act funny, he or she is likely setting you up.
7. Trust only your real friends.
8. Notice the other person's work ethic.
If he or she is lazy and irresponsible, stay away from the person as far as
anything that requires hard work goes. If you work hard, he or she will use you
in a heartbeat!
9. Notice how he treats things you care about.
10. Try to detect from an early stage what the backstabber is interested in sucking from you.
11. If the backstabber persists in pestering you, either ignore him or tell him dispassionately
that you do not want to do (insert activity here). Be polite, but extremely firm. If they detect
a weakness in your firmness, they will try as hard as they can to puncture it.
12. Don't rely on the backstabber for anything; even the tiniest of things. In this way, you will
avoid situations where you owe him/her a favor. This technique takes patience, practice and
goes completely against your better nature. The backstabber will get the hint and move on the
next sucker/victim.
End of my pretty story...
