Avoid Those Who Bread Crumb You

Written by Chris Josh

You must know there are people in your life who are just bread crumbing you. It’s what it sounds like. A person will give you the absolute bare minimum and perhaps even less than that.

Why do they treat you this way? For many reasons. They may not see your worth. They may be jealous and/or envious of you. They may even be doing it out of their ego. In that case, what they want you to do is work harder to get their validation.

Of course, they hardly ever give you that validation. And maybe once in a blue moon, they’ll throw you a bone and that excites you. Then, they go back to their old ways. 

Don’t be tricked by some of these individuals. They’ll purposely hide their bread crumbing by making excuses that they have emergencies and issues arising all the time and that that’s the reason for their lack of effort. But these are slick narcissists. Don’t fall for it.

The ones who purposely want you to work harder think it’s a game. Once they see you’re putting in a lot of effort, they know they got you and they’ll continue making you prove yourself to them.

If you notice you have people like this in your life, just know it’s not happening by chance and it’s not how they are with everyone else. Don’t even try to correct their behavior. Your best bet is to just cut them off.

Keep introducing yourself to new people and you will bump into people who truly value you and love your vibe. Remember, not everyone is for you. Don’t settle for breadcrumbs when you can get the whole loaf of bread from someone else.
