  • When mosquitoes work, they bite and then they sing.

    Greetings Village!

    #DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Mali
    The proverb says: "When mosquitoes work, they bite and then they sing."
    It can be hard to know if someone is manipulating you, especially if they're good at it.
    Manipulators are often very skilled at hiding their true intentions. They may seem like the perfect friend or partner at first, but eventually their mask will slip and you'll see their true colors.
    Learning how to spot a manipulator before they've had a chance to harm you is crucial. If you can identify the signs early on, you'll be able to protect yourself from being taken advantage of.
