How to get involved with friends who are addicted to MLM

A friend I've been in a relationship with since middle school seems to be addicted to multi-like things, and I've been invited too.

I don't think it's a bad thing for her to be addicted to it, but the fact that I was invited made to feel that I wasn't her friend, but only one of her possessions.
When I was first invited, I casually declined, but the other day I received an invitation for the second time, and I finally began to want to stop dating.

Is it wrong to stop being friends because of this?
You might get bored someday, and is it better to just keep a distance here?

　The person himself thought it was really good and invited him, so I don't think they think it's “one of the pieces they have.”
Properly tell them “I'm not interested in that product or business,” and never go to a briefing session (seminar). Don't get caught up in words such as “there's someone I want you to meet.”
I don't think “stopping being friends because of this” or “keeping a distance” is a bad thing.

If it seems too insistent, it's a good idea to talk to the Consumer Center.

Opponent's reaction

If you get too involved in religion, the negative side may come out, so I think I myself have to be careful about the content of the question.

I had a similar experience before.

At that time, I wasn't good at Maruti,
Other invitations are always welcome.

I told that to the other party and left it up to the other person's reaction and response.

Multi and cult

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is a humble answer to the question.

As Mr. Taian is also slightly concerned, there are quite a few similarities between Maruti and cult solicitation, and one is that they raise anxiety and fear, criticize others, and solicit when they are saved if this is their own.

To be honest, it's nothing other than a nuisance, but as Mr. Kozen said, such a person has a strong sense of self-righteousness and complacency, doing good things to save their partner, and often doesn't appreciate the other person's nuisance.

If you're an important friend, the best thing is to let them notice your mistakes if possible, but if you've been brainwashed quite a bit, they can go bad, so it's also very difficult.

One way is to try to alienate while keeping a distance for a while, and if they are persistent, tell them to stop once and for all, and leave it up to the other party to respond later.
