manipulative psychology
These are some simple Manipulative Tools used in Manipulative Psychology:
1) Ignorance – This tool is all about making the other person feel uncomfortable about something they don’t know. You need to shake him up so that he is caught off balance and you have the upper hand over him in a conversation. For example, you may talk the tech-talk to a non-techie and some part of him starts to feel guilty that he doesn’t have the same amount of knowledge or is ignorant of the things that you know (or probably the rest of the world knows).
2) Guilt – ‘You should have known better!’ This tool targets a persons self esteem by bringing out their inner most feared secrets. Everybody has some hidden skeletons, all you need to do is bring them out. For example, If you hold a hidden secret of another person, which if unleashed would turn his life inside out, then that is a very powerful tool that will make the person do whatever you tell him to.
3) Conformism – Convince the other person that its the norm and everybody is doing it. Going with the trend. This technique requires good conviction power and confidence of the manipulator. You need to conform to the other person that what you are telling him to do is the right thing to do. This can be best seen in the videos that follows.
