Why I really dislike MLM.

This past few weeks, I've been approached by not 1, but THREE people, attempting to brainwash my already not-working-very-well brain, to buy the products that they believe in.

First one was Amway. As you can read from a previous entry, I decided to look at their cosmetics, Artistry, because I love cosmetics. They were nice, but I wasn't blown away. So I thought my friend would leave me alone after I told her I might get something once my pay came in.

Then she starts inviting me to their events. Then when she uploaded a pic of me in FB, and I had commented how bad my eye rings were, and I had just made a comment about how the only thing possible to save me was cosmetic surgery, her whole bunch of equally brain-washed friends started commenting I was fine and should use their product. Then she starts showing me pics of her friend who 'had horrendous eye bags', who had used their eye cream. I un-tagged myself. Couldn't stand it.

I'm the kind, when I go shopping, I like to be left alone. I don't like salesgirls hawking me, and everything I pick up, they go: "This is a cleanser. This is a toner." Yes, I know, thank you very much. Just let me shop in peace. Thank God for online stores.

Second one. Ok, I installed this app called Meow Chat, cos a friend of mine sent me an invite, and I thought since it looked cute, why not. I regret it.

I don't usually reply to any Tom, Dick or Harry who goes: "Hi!". No profile pic, out. No details filled up, out. I'm picky. Haha.

So I started chatting with a guy who seemed human enough, and he started telling me he traveled for a living and asked me to guess what was he working as. Cabin crew? No. Then what? Pilot? No. He then recites.... "Do you want to make a difference? Within 4 months you can earn so much?" I immediately replied: "Oh. You're from World Ventures."

Now, I came to learn about World Ventures from a very successful blogger, after someone annoyed her as well. She blogs at www.workingwithgrace.wordpress.com. This guy was way irritating! He kept asking me to look at his pics in Nice, USA, god-knows-where-else... so irritating! And when I rejected him for the umpteen time, he finally gave up and gave me that it's-your-loss attitude. Seriously???!

Third. Also from that irritating app. When I told him I was looking for a new job, he started pushing his company to me. Some Unihealth Happy Life Project thingy. I am so not amused.

Said his company deals with health supplements, yada yada. I told him about my health condition and that I should not take anything without my neuro's approval. It worked when I told the Amway people that. They didn't push any supplements to me. So it should have worked with him right? WRONG.

He was so persistent that I think if that was a boyfriend persuading his love to marry him, the girl would have said yes. Kept saying he wants to understand more about how I got epilepsy, how many seizures I have, etc etc etc, so he can ask his doctors and find a cure for me.

HELLO. My doctor is a specialist. A neurologist. She say no cure. All doctors say no cure. I only know God will and can cure me. Period.

I was really annoyed by his questioning. Even more irritating than when I gave that interview with The New Paper. I think I got rid of him with dead silence.

Has MLM pple gone so low to even go to chat apps to look for business?
