How can you become more aware of people who want to use you?

The first step to becoming more aware of people who want use you is finding out where their interests lie. What I mean by that is, do those people seem to want somethingOF you, or do they want somethingFOR you. Sometimes you can find these things out through general conversation with these people, but often you have to find a way to "trap" them intellectually by getting them to inadvertantly admit their true motives for associating with you. This is difficult to do as"users"are often smarter, or more cunning than those who are being "used" Before you become aware of these people, you must learn to become less gullable.
