You touched a sensitive spot @3:10 onwards. I grew up in an unstable home, with a crack addict step-father who stole a lot from my home, who hit my mom etc. They'd fight almost everyday, and whenever I asked them they'd just pretend it was all in my head and that they were just having a conversation and "discussing" some stuff. Even though I knew deep down what was happening I was always kept in the dark. I'm 30 now and I just can't trust myself nor my own judgement. Whenever someone hurts me and I try to express myself I always think "it's all in your head they didn't mean it" "you're over reacting" and it's all in my head.

It absolutely is bad. 100%. if you're EMOTIONALLY manipulating someone, that means there is emotion, which means it's someone you are supposed to care about. You shoudnt fuck w anyone's mind, but you definitely don't fuck w the mind of people you care for. When you do, it's called gaslighting. It's straight up abuse, no way around it. And if house think it's not bad, you're a douche bag who clearly mistreats people.

I'm glad you touched base on the topic of gaslighting. I've been having trouble with it since 2019. I got a new job. The money wasn't great my relationship started to fall apart, and I started getting the opposite of emotional support... Gaslighting. Now I've worked on a lot of different ways to remain strong with the it, and it's refreshing to hear I'm not the only one going through it. I've been guilty of trying to fight fire with fire, and I can tell you with complete assurance that doing that won't help. Its a negative way to build self confidence, and will only make you look unprofessional. Don't be quite about it, but seek help with the right people. Life is too short to turn bitter.

I'm naturally a very intelligent person, and it was noticed early on that I was well beyond my peers, intellectually. Unfortunately, this set the bar very high when it came to my adoptive parents' expectations, and anything that wasn't exceptional was unacceptable. It took its toll on me and I stopped doing homework because it was a prison. The less I did, the more I was told "you'll do nothing but flip hamburgers, Brian, if you don't do your homework!" It wasn't kind guidance; my mom cracked the whip even though I was cracking under the pressure and bullying I endured at school and home. I'm 35, and I've spent the last 15 years flipping burgers, grievously overqualified on an intellectual level for basically any position I'm socially qualified for.

As someone who has done a lot of manipulation I always did it from a place of changing a person's view of the world in making them happier people or to achieve the results they wanted. I never feel good about manipulation. You will never get the results you want without some manipulation. Be happy, be positive it costs you nothing. Worst case no one will hate you for it, though miserable people will resent you.

[@p3u3g3poultree7]

@@38vocan I suppose perspective is how you define it? Saying good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night, please, thank you, and your welcome goes a long way. Telling people you are grateful and and appreciate them even if you do not makes them receptive to you. At some point you will need help and people are happy to help a person who acknowledges them.

[@38vocan]

@@p3u3g3poultree7 I think it is only manipulative when the relationship is unbalanced: If the person does not understand your true intentions. If you smile and are polite and there is a common understanding of why you are doing it, then it is not manipulation. However, if you act as if you appreciate something you do not appreciate in order to get something from someone without they being aware of your intentions, then yes it is manipulation. And it is disrespectful of the other person, because you treat them as a tool rather than a human being.

[@p3u3g3poultree7]

@@38vocan Most people are too dumb to be superficially nice to each other. Think of when you interact with a business that depends on tips and one that does not. Tipping should not be the incentive to behave nicely, however it seems the only way most people will put on a bit of charm. I do not people as tools so much as I see them as incapable of doing what is in their own best interests. Happy people live longer and that is reason enough.

[@38vocan]

@@p3u3g3poultree7 I don't think tipping is manipulation however, because it is sort of a business relationship. You expect good service, and they need a tip, so this is just a transaction. I would also expect that fake smiles do not sell as well as real ones !

I am always aware of those who are "deep". Those are the kind of people who look for new ways and think so hard to be creative in manipulating others. As a stoic, I fully invest in listening to people's tone, sentence, analyze their stories, and remained quiet during their expressing sessions. These "deep thinkers" are non only but narcissists.

[@bujin5455]

10:24. Strongly disagree. Emotional manipulation is a covert effort to subvert a person's will through an attack on the unguarded rear gate of the mind, carefully avoiding the watch of the critical eye. However, that is quite different than appealing to a person's reason and senses openly and directly. You may have an aim, you may be persuasive, but the goal should be to passthrough the will with its blessing. If you have done this, it's not "manipulation" it's persuasion. One treats a person as an object to be controlled and manipulated like a tool, the other treats a person like a conscious agent with divine rights to personhood and is a cooperative effort.

[@vitalijslebedevs1629]

I agree. Everything is influence. Doesn't matter, if one person or group is saying the same things to you. If ou go trough the same experiences and are told the same things by a different person every time, you'll still start to believe it. And then it's worse: you start to act like it's true, essentially manipulating yourself further. Ex.g. If you start to believe that you can't be loved and have a romantic relationship, you won't be able to. From personal experience of close to 40 years.

i just got out of an relationship of a 1 year and 2 months I let her go 3 days ago. this video made me understand that I was getting manipulated to do things that I didn't want to. for example my ex told me oh honey get vaxed. I didn't want to and we faught over this just not physical but verbally. next day she told me if you don't get vaxxed i will leave you. I was scared because I loved her so much and I didn't want to lose her. So i got vaxxed. The turning point that caused this relationship to end was that we both agreed to contact her baby daddy for "child support" but the thing was that the baby daddy had no clue that he had a child. the guy lives at tennessee and im from california close to LA. anyways when they connected they we're facetiming non stop. I felt this urge this jealousy because she really said to me that the guy "changed" and he attends more to "church" (my ex is a christian). A day pass by and I went towards her house to pick her up she wasn't even ready she was still talking to that guy. so I got mad and I got out my car and i went straight in to her house. she was super mad at me because I "interrupted them". She went to her room God knows what she told him. And again I felt this jealousy so i demanded her to let me see the messages between her and him. I grabbed the phone she tried to get it back. she started screaming and her father backed me off. At that point i was like im letting you go. She cried and told me to come back. I blocked her.

I've had a bad relationship with my narcissistic mother(who has emotional and drug/alchohol issues), and this is exactly what she'd do("I gave birth to you", ect.) and still does. Of course she would also say "If I could go back and change everything, I would." My brothers and I went to live with my aunt(moms sister) and uncle when I was 6. I haven't spoken to her in over 5 months due to her behavior and it took me awhile to realize I was being used emotionally for her own ends. For example, she was in an accident and I gave her my old car and my grandfather got me another one. That was more his pressing than mom's, but still. Unfortunately, I see the same things occurring with my oldest brother(the addiction/unresolved mental issues) and am worried that he may end up like our mother, or worse. My great uncle died earlier this week, and the funeral is tomorrow, so it'll be interesting to see her and how she'll be, as my grandfather said she'll be there. Its sucks more bc tommorow is also my grandfather's 87th birthday. A funeral, a Birthday and seeing someone I'd rather not. Tomorrow's gonna be fun.

Quite often I find myself Manipulating peoples around me and I hate myself for it. I really wanna change but can't help but feel attracted to it It is so lucrative and it feels just sooooo good that I don't want to move away from it. I feel like I am addicted to it and it hurts so bad sometimes I really don't know what to do. :(

I grew up in I home where my mother said “I can just as easily take you out of this world as I brought you into it,” i think this messed me up as a kid

I know the moments I said things that did not feel right, they were not sincere, they were not well thought out, they were not how I wanted to be treated myself. I will create my own hell for myself if I do not take good care in how I treat others. I've been called a liar, I've been told I am the villain, I will try to be better for my own sake and above all I will do my best to trust and belive the autonomy of others who do not decide who I am for me.

I've been gaslit for so long that I will always back down first even when I was sure I did good and had the right answer the first time. It's a sharp pang of shame *especially* when I find out I was right later on. It's sad to be one dealing with trauma from abuse and existing around others who have no idea what I'm still going through. I had the right answer in physics class today and the teacher corrected me before viewing the answer themselves and admitting that I was right but before that moment I apologized already, sorry to waste the time, quick to assume I was wrong all along...

A stoic can easily get rid of manipulation of emotions....

[@amirbahalegharn365]

the reason why we have this is because children aren't taught physiological & biological information of humans while the society of adults aren't also being revised at a quick pace to be responsible for their shortcomings where the children knows their older parents,siblings,acquaintances aren't "grown-up" humans in a meaningful way,all the time,about all the subjects when these so-called adults expect younger one to trust & believe the lessons & thoughts & acts these individuals shown pr present to kids. things are messy if it doesn't get fixed at it's base.

In my experience people on twitter take everything with a grain of salt. When i said things the same way i say things on twitter on other platforms. They take it very seriously 💀 and many times went to my dms to harass me

[@twox2034]

Think, using the same thing in positive manner.

[@ligma5058]

As a dark empath, I excel in this subject.
