An interesting, strong person has appeared in your environment. You like everything about him, but you began to notice that everything is often amenable to his influence. He knows how to impose his opinion and manipulate others. Do not become a victim of someone else's power, learn not to succumb to outside influence.
Instructions
Step 1
Analyze why it happens that you often agree to the suggestions of this person, even if you yourself do not want to do so. The person is probably a successful manipulator. His fortitude and ability to convince people are so strong that resisting them is not just difficult, but impossible. Think about recent situations when you acted in a way that is not typical for you, under the influence of this person.
Step 2
Start working on yourself. Do not think that you will be able to resist the influence from the outside right away. This is a long-term job that can take more than one week. Start small. Take your time to accept this person's suggestions. Answer what you need to think about, take a break. Left alone with yourself, ask yourself the question: do you want to accept the offer, is it right for you? Answer it honestly to yourself, and only then voice your decision. Make this behavior a habit. Gradually, the manipulator himself will understand that you are coping with yourself, and will be forced to reduce the "pressure".
Step 3
Suggest yourself more often. Do not expect the initiative from the person whose dependence on you depresses you. Become an idea generator. For example, if your friend constantly imposes on you a certain type of rest, and you cannot refuse, then from now on yourself suggest what you would like to do today. Do not be afraid to express your desires out loud with confidence, this is the only way you will be taken seriously.
Step 4
Keep communication with such a person to a minimum. If you see that all your attempts are in vain and he is not going to give up, try to communicate with him as rarely as possible, at least for a while. You need time to return to your own self. For this, you can sacrifice communication with one person. Otherwise, one day you will come to your senses when there is practically nothing left of your personality. Be strong in spirit and full of confidence that you will succeed. And then everything will really be like this.
