Unfortunately, human meanness is not such a rare occurrence. It is not easy to fight an individual without principles who is ready to step over a lot in order to achieve his goal. However, there are ways to bring a hypocrite to clean water and protect yourself from his manipulations.
Recognize a hypocrite
To achieve his goal, a scoundrel can use all his cunning. Sometimes such people are experts in human psychology or subconsciously feel who from his environment can give weakness. Hypocrites lie, play on the feelings of others, and weave intrigues.
You can convince a vile person of lying if you compare the facts, analyze what he says. Most likely, this unscrupulous individual will pierce somewhere. Only a hardened liar can endlessly lead everyone by the nose for his own benefit. Observe the facial expressions and gestures of the person who does not inspire confidence in you, whom you suspect of lack of honesty.
If he is lying, you will see inconsistencies in the meaning of his words and body movements that cannot be controlled.
When you realize that the person has their own ulterior motives, and he is ready to substitute others for his own benefit, you will already be on your guard. The more people are aware that this person cannot be trusted, the less stable the position of the scoundrel will be. For example, if we are talking about a work team, try to open your colleagues' eyes to the mean person.
Resist manipulation
To avoid becoming part of someone's dastardly plan, learn to defend yourself against manipulation. The main tool that will help you is already with you is your intuition. If you subconsciously feel discomfort when communicating with a person, he may be trying to use you.
Do not go with the scoundrel on the occasion. If you don't do what he wants, you will disrupt his plans. This is the most effective way to combat a hypocrite. After all, open confrontation is not suitable here. A frank scandal with an appeal to the conscience of a villain will help you little. Believe me, the scoundrel will be able to get out, and you will remain a fool.
Try to communicate less with those people from whom negativity comes. If you are forced to do this, for example, due to official duties, limit the time of conversation with him to a minimum.
Demonstrate your confidence, strength of character, and discernment. Be calm and skeptical. Most likely, scoundrels will not touch such people.
Do not let unverified acquaintances and colleagues into the details of your personal life. Otherwise, the insidious person will take advantage of your frankness and in the future will be able to use the information received for their dirty purposes.
In no case do not gossip in front of bystanders and do not even make harmless remarks to third parties that are absent at the time of the conversation. Otherwise, you may be drawn into some kind of intrigue against your will.
The main thing when meeting hypocrites is not to be disappointed in other people. Believe me, not everyone around you is capable of meanness.
