健康的亲密关系能给与人们很多但如果遇到PUA面对诸多抱怨许多指责陷入自卑自馁自我怀疑

01“PUA”是什么意思？
PUA全称为Pick-Up Artist
pick up除了“捡起、获得”等
还有“撩妹、与...调情”的意思

PUA原意是指“搭讪艺术家”，其原本是指男性接受系统学习和实践，提高自己的情商，后泛指很会吸引异性的人和行为。
后来，PUA使用范围变广，现在多指从精神上控制你，对你进行言语或者行为打击，让你失去信心，从而对他（她）言听计从。

那职场PUA，又是什么意思呢？
Domeet Webmaster网站就曾经发文详细讲了什么是职场PUA（Workplace PUA）：
“职场PUA”的定义是：The workplace PUA is an expression that extends from the love PUA. It mostly occurs between the boss and his subordinates. It also uses a series of mental control methods to let the subordinates lose themselves and ultimately obey the boss.
【译】职场PUA是从爱情PUA上延伸出来的叫法，它多发生在上司和下属之间，同样是通过一系列的精神控制，让下属丧失自我，最终对上司唯命是从。

这跟Lydia有很大关系。她在心里操控你。

煤气灯效应来源：The term comes from the title of a 1938 play and the movies based on that play, the plots of which involve a man attempting to make his wife believe that she is going insane.
这个词来源于1938年一部戏剧的名字以及根据这部戏剧改编的电影，故事情节是讲一个男人试图让他的妻子相信她要疯了。

他在阁楼上动了手脚，使房子的煤气灯变暗，但他坚持对妻子说，灯并没有变暗，让他妻子无法相信自己的感觉。
