Here are the signs you’re being manipulated by someone! In this video, we are going to expose these manipulative tricks so that you can recognize them when they arise. Manipulators use certain behaviors to influence how other people think, feel, and act, without them noticing. In effect, they get others to do whatever they want. The more familiar you are with these tactics, the harder it will be for anyone to use them against you.
So, what are some tell-tale signs you’re being manipulated?
You only get approval, help, love, validation etc., if you say, do, or agree to give the manipulator what they want. However, this tactic only works if you have a habit of seeking approval and validation from others. When you seek approval from others you give them power over you. You give them the ability to manipulate your feelings and make you feel like crap at a moment’s notice whenever they feel like it. This is a typical narcissistic tactic. However, these people are very fragile individuals with low self-esteem. In reality, there are many things that terrify narcissists to their core!
They put you through a constant guilt trip
Since manipulation is all about being powerful, a manipulative person will do anything they can to keep you feeling confused and weak. They have trouble accepting responsibility for their behavior. Often, they’ll find a way to turn it around to make you feel bad or guilty. Another aggressive tactic used by manipulators is yelling. Instead of improving their argument, some people will simply improve their volume and will start shouting and yelling at you, in an attempt to dominate the conversation and intimidate you into backing down.
Manipulators are everywhere, and they can be anyone
They can be your family, friends, spouse, your boss, and workmates; strangers, advertisers or the media. The only thing that varies is the tactics they use, and now you know what they are. It’s important to recognize the signs you’re being manipulated. This way, you can either choose to ignore it, or you can call them out on it.
