  • How to avoid manipulation? Do two things:

    1. Assert that you're living your life as a *trader*: exchanging value for value with others, that you refuse to sacrifice your happiness for others, nor expect others to surrender their happiness for you.

    2. Make an ordered list of your top 10 values in life, and live by it. Your physical & mental health, your integrity, and your sense of inspiration all should be placed *higher* than any other *person* in your life.

    Your quality of life will skyrocket!

  • There's no need to categorize different manipulative tactics; all you have to know is that if you feel uncomfortable with a request, you are probably being manipulated. I know someone who is master manipulator, and I have told him in his face to stop using manipulative tactics....those exact words! Stick to the Judge Judy approach of " don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining".

  • Remember it's also ok to take a compliment from someone. There ARE people in the world, that are sincere. Not saying your advice is wrong, but if taken to extreme it's possible you're being paranoid, assinine, and argumentative.

  • This is WAY more informative than those psycho-babble clips. Thank you.

  • I swear it seems like these manipulation tactics have spread like wildifre in my family.

  • cool . it seems like there's always a new asshole every day that is trying to do this. I hold my own and I never play these stupid games.

  • Read her whole book, "How To Be A Stupid, Obstinate, Uncooperative, Argumentative, Unreasonable, Mouthy Douche

  • That won't stop me from manipulating anyone. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

  • this is boring but oh well hahahah
