A person with clear pursuits/goals and a highly stable emotional and inner state is rarely susceptible to long-term PUA, financial, or emotional exploitation by others. Because they instinctively resist challenges to their emotional and inner stability, when first encountering such challenges, their instinctive red flags will go up and they will try to resolve the issue. If they find they cannot resolve it, they will begin to detach from these unhealthy relationships. Those who are subjected to long-term PUA, financial, or emotional exploitation generally lack firm values and clear goals.
