Much attention is now being paid to the art of manipulating people. Manipulators pursue a variety of goals, but mostly selfish ones.
Therefore, it is important to have the idea that you have become the object of someone's close attention, and this someone is very persistently trying to guide you on the "true" path.
Experts have named several signs that someone is trying to manipulate you, or that you are already under someone else’s influence.
Imposing thinking
This is the first thing a manipulator tries to do - to impose stereotypes on the interlocutor, using well-known facts, or will press on the fact that you have so much in common. Attention to the unsaid
The manipulator will not provide information in full, as if forcing the person to think or think up what was not said to him.
Urgency and haste
With the help of these factors, the manipulator builds up and creates a tense, anxious atmosphere in the air, which confuses the interlocutor and deprives him of the ability to think rationally.
Repeats over and over again
The same thought, once expressed in a conversation, will be repeated by the manipulator at every convenient opportunity. He will hammer it into your head like a nail.
Complex terminology
The manipulator will try to look smarter than the interlocutor. To do this, he will create a fog with the help of specialized terminology, incomprehensible to a mere mortal.
Achilles heel
Having found your weak spot, the manipulator will use any convenient method to put pressure on it. This may be not only pity, but also greed, vanity and other not the best personality traits.
The main thing to remember is that all the actions of the manipulator are aimed at achieving the desired result through the hands of others, because often these people are ordinary weaklings.
