Many people are embarrassed even to admit to themselves that they are easily influenced and suggestible.
Sometimes they convince themselves that they have sincerely made this or that independent decision, which will not be the most beneficial for them.
Therefore, it is worth learning to resist manipulation, experts note.
What are 3 secrets that will help with this?
Develop critical thinking
Never take the words of your interlocutor on faith without serious grounds. Not all people are sincere. Personal interest may be hidden under "disinterested honest opinion".
Therefore, always look for information in different sources, trusting people who have authority in a particular area.
Love yourself
Often victims of manipulation are people who lack love, attention, and care in their lives. They seem like an easy and accessible target for not very honest people.
Therefore, it is worth working on the issue of self-esteem.
Grow yourself
It is almost impossible to manipulate an intelligent person: a high IQ simply will not allow one to succumb to provocation.
Therefore, it is wiser to spend free time on personal development.
