In order to manipulate a person, it is necessary to roughly determine his level of thinking, education, life experience, preferences, fears and much more. Manipulators use various techniques to manipulate their victim.
There are several hundred such techniques and they are all very effective. However, some can show results instantly, and some can only work after years of practice.
The ultimate art of manipulation is that the victim is unaware of the manipulation.
1) Re-asking. The manipulator, as it were, repeats your words only at the beginning, but at the end he inserts his words, while changing the whole meaning of the thought you said.
2) Jumping from topic to topic is also a means of manipulation. Here, the human psyche does not have time to prepare the answer that should be given. The manipulator is trying to get the information out of you that you would like to hide.
3) False carelessness is also a means of manipulation. The person will prove to the manipulator that he is significant, thereby pulling out all the information useful to him.
4) Imaginary weakness. The manipulator by all his actions shows his helplessness, forcing the victim to do the work for him.
5) Anger. The manipulator will show bouts of anger and irritability, thereby forcing his victim to make more and more concessions.
This is not the whole list of situations associated with manipulation. Try to analyze, perhaps someone at work or at home is trying to manipulate you.
