Understanding Transactionalism

Transactionalism is a mode of operation where individuals view others merely as tools for their own gain. This perspective prioritizes personal benefit over genuine relationships, reducing interactions to exchanges of utility rather than connections based on mutual respect and understanding. A distinction is made between 'connectors,' who facilitate relationships for the benefit of others, and 'transactors,' who engage only for personal advantage. The dangers of transactionalism include the potential to cultivate relationships defined by manipulation rather than authenticity.
