  • If you ever ask yourself “am I being manipulated,” chances are, someone is using psychological manipulation on you! Master manipulators use several psychological and emotional manipulation tactics, and sometimes, the mind games they play can be very destructive.
    From putting the blame on you you and playing the victim, to giving you the cold shoulder, manipulative people gaslight you to the point where you start to question your sanity. What’s worse, is that manipulation often happens at home or work.
    In this video, we talk about some of the most common signs of psychological manipulation most people miss. It's important to recognize the manipulation techniques these people use - before you become their prey.

They just like to make a soul miserable because thats how they truly are. And worst they sabotage you to make you do bad things just like how a rapist roofees their pray for sex they'll do whatever to use you then make you look like the bad guy and i should know my ex use to roofee me he'd mix it in my drink even put weed in my food with some weed butter i was so paranoid and was so embarrassing as i didnt know especially as i had to drive smh....their straight criminals trying to look innocent by getting away with their insidious cruel ways.

      @Christina Anderson that,s good that you,re learning. I have been in several of those types also. They recognize, after they have gotten your trust, that you can be manipulated and hurt. And boy, does it hurt. If someone in your family has done this, you will subconsciously seek out people like them because they make you feel comfortable. But when you think you really like them, they gaslight you and are relentless that you believe that everything that went wrong was ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT!!! it,s very hard to not look for these relationships and be sucked into this inevitable hell again. One time I had two people that used me _ a boyfriend and the older woman that introduced us and then worked together to break us up. Sick. And I mean all three of us.

Than get hobbies or ask yourself, what is your passion, what is your dream? Then practice your goal/dream/passion on most days or discover the albums of a new or old artiste.

By advancing the interests of the manipulator, often at another's expense, such methods could be considered exploitative and devious

He would turn things I would say to him in confidence and then use them against me. His other tactic is the silent treatment. He constantly lied to me about wanting to be with me but never took any action to do it. After 5 years I just ghosted him, blocked him completely. Stopped letting him use me. Let him see how it feels. Very hurtful, but my love for myself won out.

    They will also speak very low so you have to strain to hear them, to draw you in. They do it on purpose while acting like you've got a hearing problem, when you don't. Its a form of gaslighting. Once you have experienced them, you'll start seeing more and more people around you who use gaslighting techniques to control everything, including you. If they find out they cannot control you eventually they will give up...if you're lucky.

They have been taught they only have to show up to receive benefits & privileges. They do not have to make any kind of effort. I think this is a case of biology.

      I dunno what type of personality I have, but I've never felt that feeling as an adult. Being an adult male, I can't comprehend that notion in myself because I tend to get more physical if someone tries to exert power over me in a situation. Not saying I put my hands on those people, but my body language begins to shift at that point and a bit of aggression starts to come out.
      Id say the reason for that is because id never do anything of that nature to anyone that didn't deserve it, so the fact someone's trying it on me when I'm minding my business will be the reason im so quick "check" that person if you will.

Long story short, after years of months going by with periods of ghosting, she only contacts me when it’s convenient for her. If I call her, it’s been up to 4 months for her to return my call. (There’s much more to the story..) I have no doubt she’d gaslight me and play the victim, if I expressed my resentment of her behavior towards me. She made plans with me last week and never showed up or contacted me. I tried to call her, she sent it to voicemail... So, I changed my phone number, and I’m going no contact with her. ... I think No contact is best, when dealing with ppl who have these types of narcissistic traits. I don’t need or want the drama and upset in my life...And yes, she makes fun of me too, and says she’s, “only joking” ... I’m sooo done it’s hurtful and infuriating...

I had had it with him and I took his silence as good news and didn't come back to him. He did NOT expect that. LOL! XD His loss.

    I think it would be also very important to mention that all people are guilty of some of these traits, depending on circumstances, state, health, situation, genetic/parental influence, environment etc. So it's all not really just black & white. Because of this, judging someone and labelling them automatically as a manipulator/psychically ill because they did these things at some points to some people can be very unjust. Self-justification, ignorance, biases, fallacies are common in all of us, nobody is resistant to them. If something sounds logic in one case at some point, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's entirely true or reasonable always. Negative emotions can make us easily forget about the good ones. I was very wrong in many things, and I still make mistakes. So the priority should be I think rather not to avoid, but first at the very least try to make another person be aware of how their actions make us feel, without playing the victim, blaming, criticising and comparing to others (this can be really difficult and I know this from experience, still learning how to do it properly BTW). Many people are not always immediately aware how their actions can affect others. If they don't accept our point of view/feelings, don't understand it and make it clear that they don't see any reason to change their behaviour (because f.e. "I am right, and you are wrong/sick etc."), then and only then - when most hope is lost - I would consider avoiding.

    Turning every person that you have ever known against you.
    Even that you have known them over twenty years or more.driving you out of society causing every person to despise you.
    That nothing will bring them back to the person they once were.
    By the dozens against you and you have done nothing to no one.
    Every time you make new friend,they turn them against you.
    Hated and disposed by every one and have done none of the the things that was said about you.

    Recovering manipulator here:
    I remember having done a lot of these and being called out for them by my EX. The truly crazy thing was most of what I did and said wasn't in a mindset of "I have to fool this person and control them" it was "I'm scared and need to build some slack into my environment to be safe" of course there was little to no thought as to others emotional safety but I didn't enjoy doing it just to do it. I did it because I felt I "had to"
    let me put it another way. The first person any truly good manipulator, conman, emotionally controlling partner has to fool is themselves. That doesn't mean I was/am blameless. I had agency and choices the whole time. It does mean though that in a very real sense some manipulators aren't living in the same would as other people.
    Again, I want to make it clear. we are all responsible for our actions. Setting back and being like "well I have a mental disorder" or whatever and doing fuck all about it is what garbage people do. That said in my experience the truly "gifted" manipulators are so deep in their own bs they can't see a world outside of it.

It’s assistance to tap into your subconscious...helping you with inner guidance, not to dictate the future of the outcome. We as humans, have free will.

      Tarot directly reflects your inner state of mind. The most experienced tarot readers always advise to read them with a clear mind after some meditation. No matter what cards you get, you still need to interpret the result using your own belief system. If your belief system is incompatible with this specific practice, you can either change it or find some other way of asking for guidance.

      I went thru the exact same thing that you did! I got pregnant and started staying at " home " his house of course, not mine - never mine! I also had three kids, close together - close in age, only two years between my first and second children and then not even two years between my second and third children. And while their father already had a lot of control over my life, and theirs, that's when he sneakily and secretly took complete control, especially financial control and worked to isolate me as much as possible, in a very covert way of course. He may not have an actual diagnosis but there is no doubt in my mind, or in my heart of hearts and in my very Soul that this " man " is, has always been and will always be an abusive, neglectful, dishonest, despicable, cold hearted, uncaring covert narcissist!!!!! He has practicly ruined my life, destroyed my hopes and dreams, and continues to try to destroy me because I discovered his affair with an " old friend " of mine, an affair that was started in 2015 - 2016 and continues to this very day. I also discovered that their affair is " transactional " with him paying that infamous whore for sex. Yet many, many times over these years me and my kids most basic needs, basic necessities, our health and well-being completely neglected and his house, that we still live in, is dilapidated and falling apart - because getting and paying for his infamous prostitutes p***y was and still is the most important thing to this creep and me and our kids could just go die in a hole somewhere I guess!!! Once I am fully gone from here, fully and completely severed from this low life creep I am going to make sure that he has to face me in court in front of a judge and jury I am going to make sure that he is exposed for what and who he really is!!! After a lifetime of abuse, neglect, disrespect, disloyalty, lying, cheating, ECT I cannot just walk away without trying my very best to hold him accountable for his many crimes and misdeeds. And I honestly cannot even imagine being in any kind of relationship with another " man " or anyone else, ever again. I'm a mess because I'm so angry, cannot trust anyone, ECT that I don't think that it's possible nor do I even want to be close to anyone else ever again. Except for my children and my granddaughter of course! I'm so sorry for this long rant! Please forgive me! 👋✌️🤜🤛❤️❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔💔😼😽🙀😿😾

    Nicely laid out list of tactics. The manipulator being described here is clinically referred to as a Narcissist. They often live in a fantasy world of their own amazingness and they use people as supply to bolster their own sense of entitlement and grandiosity. There are studies available on these people and their tactics. It's surprisingly easy to get caught up with these kinds of manipulators, especially if you are trusting or have grown up in a disfunctional household or been traumatized in the past. A narcissist can spot a vulnerable person to prey upon in a millisecond.
