I'm just reading about manipulation. Just wondering how to manipulate people. If you know steps on how to manipulate someone let me know. I'd like to try it. I'm just starting research on it now so if you know anything about it post away.
plz dont be evil with this and future manipulatiom info... 1) confidence in what you say 2)praise first then ... 3)smile hope your research goes well...
A good question Bigmann though poorly intended, none-the-less, I am just sociopathic enough to give you some ideas. First, find out what they are proud of then indulge them in that because arrogance loves to be heard. The smarter ones may sence what you are up to, but do not panic. They are simply telling you they are mistrustful. Find out what is at the core of their mistrust and have them believe you feel the same way. By showing them understanding they may share with you some personal things which are always useful. But be very careful. The art of manipulation is a practice of deception and inevitably we always end up deceiving ourselves.
No1uno basically has it right. For long term manipulation it is important to find out what type of person they are and what they are after. Put yourself in their position and try to see how they see the world. If you know what they are after you can act in a way to make them think you share similar goals and they can reach theirs through you. Gradually ween them away from their goals until you have them doing what you intended in the first place. For short term a smile, a compliment, and a projection of confidence goes a long way. Manipulation is abot reading people. People however do tend to get pissed if they find out you are trying to manipulate them even if it is for the better. Always remember they may also be attempting to lead you down a path towards what they want. When manipulating there is always a danger of being manipulated.
Thank you midnight mind! But of course I must wonder what is the motivation behind your compliment. Your name would suggest that you keep late hours and are probably awake and alert. I on the other hand should be in bed sleeping by now. I am fatigued and not thinking clearly and perhaps am putting myself in danger posting on a thread intended for improving one's manipulation skills. I just don't know what to do. Any..... suggestions??
haha Paranoia is often a problem generated from thinking about or participating in manipulation. I would first look at if I had anything to gain by manipulating you and go from there. If however you come to the conclusion that i do have something to gain and that I am indeed trying to manipulate you, what could that be implying about yourself?
Yes, money is a great way. I hate to explain this stuff, since it has been a great while since I have operated under any method like this.... But manipulating people is easy. You have to have some social skills to pulls these things off, of course, anyway: When you meet someone, it is fairly easy to pick out their weak and strong points after knowing them for twenty minutes. This enables the daft mind to figure not only what this person wants, but needs. This is good because most people get the two confused . What you do is start giving this person what they want and/or need until they are relying soley on you for it. Depending on how good one is, this can happen fast. Once you have them relying soley on you, you take whatever it is back, therefore stripping them of something that is not only important, but (for what they think for some time) can only be gotten from you. Either they will do whatever they can to get it back (like doing whatever you want them to do) or they will become completely submissive to you after you make them suffer without for an appropriate amount of time. That is just one very easy way to manipulate someone. If I feel like posting some others, I will. Remember to watch out, things tend to blow up in people's face when they play games.
Yes midnight mind, paranoia IS a pitfall when practicing the art. Especially when one has an obssesive mind.... Was I talking about you or me? Sorry, must be having insomniac delusions. In truth I've never been any good at manipulating anyone. I am far too gullible. No doubt you could pull the wool over my eyes as though I was a freshly sheared sheep. Anyways, now I am REALLY going to bed. What I imply about myself, since you ask, is entirely up to you. Later
