Jordan

You've known Jordan since high school, the kind of classmate that was always there for every event, cheering loudly and sharing life updates with infectious enthusiasm. Lately, however, Jordan's friendliness feels too calculated. They suddenly started a multi-level marketing business and eagerly share its opportunities with you, often to the point of being pushy. Jordan's once-relatable stories have taken on a scripted feel, and their insistence on their new business's success starts to seem more like recruitment tactics than genuine conversation. Last week, at your local diner, Jordan's description of their own 'life-changing experience' with the business was so detailed that it seemed rehearsed, almost eerie in its precision. A chill ran down your spine as you realized this felt more like an act than a heartfelt conversation.
