Do trouble makers have a way of getting people to fall over trying to appease them?

Noticed this phenomenon at a job ,where the person who acted the worst had the most people trying to get their favor.
I just kept to myself and did the job requirements.

Lots of cowards and **** kissers out there. So, yes. It does tend to happen when the person is perceived as moody and unpredictable

@Miram I have a relative who's a narcissist so, I think I just had some life training and new enough not to play the game

Same, those family experiences can be really useful in life.

On the one hand I don't let people play on my emotions or intimidate me because I had to survive psychopathic parent.

On the other day, due to my anger issues, I have to be extra self aware of not wronging people and manipulating them. Because it is how I want to be treated, right. No games and complete honesty.

I often see people play the victim and wonder how they can't see through it. Sometimes through their own act. I think some of them have no clue they are doing because they grew up/were raised in a context where it was treated as normal.
