Sometimes attackers try to manipulate others. In order not to succumb to the provocations of not too clean individuals, one should react to them correctly. As soon as you realize that they are trying to force you to dance to someone else's tune, it is important to be able to answer the provocateur.
Exposure
Once you realize that you are being manipulated, the provocateur will have no power over you. Listen to your inner feelings. If after communicating with a certain person you feel extremely uncomfortable, you need to figure out what is the matter.
Perhaps this individual is trying to put some ideas of his own in your head, to make you think differently. When you suddenly change your point of view after talking to someone, stop and consider if these are really your thoughts.
Zombies can occur at work, at home, and even with friends. People who adhere to their own principles do not easily give up their opinions. Therefore, it is important to have a clear position in life and think critically, and not take on faith the words of others.
You should be especially careful with closed, insincere people. Trust your own intuition. If you feel tense around such an individual, it is possible that his thoughts about you are unclean.
Reaction
Before acting on the impression of a conversation with a neighbor, consider whether you need it. Maybe you are serving as a puppet in the wrong hands. The best response to a provocateur who, with your help, is trying to achieve his own goals is a cold-blooded phrase that you have taken his words into consideration.
If they are trying to control you, try to take the initiative in your own hands. When an individual agitates you for something, inundate him with questions. Show a real tediousness, arrange an interrogation about all the details. Perhaps after this, the manipulator will decide to find a more gullible, pliable victim.
As you can see, depending on the situation, your reaction may be either indifference or excessive interest in trifles and suspicion. If you see for sure that a person is trying to use you, you can apply the third method of dealing with provocateurs.
Do what is not expected of you. Show an unexpected reaction and see how the manipulator takes it. Most likely, realizing that his plans have failed, and in front of him is either a narrow-minded person or a tough nut to crack, your opponent will not be able to hide his disappointment and anger.
Self-confidence
Some people almost deliberately succumb to other people's influence. This is because of their low self-esteem. Such a person is not confident in himself and depends on the opinions of others more than on his own.
It will not be easy for this individual to defend against provocations. Insecure, weak people often fall prey to calculating manipulators. In this case, you should start working on yourself in order to feel more stable and trust yourself, and only after that you can effectively interact with others.
