From social media to personal relationships, manipulators employ a variety of techniques to gain power, control, or personal advantage.

Manipulation has become increasingly common in the digital age. From social networks to personal relationships, manipulators “employ” various techniques to obtain power, control or personal advantage. Manipulation is a complex psychological tactic used to influence or control other people. Although it can be employed in harmless ways, it should not be used to deceive or harm others.

People also use manipulation techniques to convince a friend, win an argument, or make a great first impression in a business meeting. If you want to understand what manipulation is like, we are here to help you:

Silent Treatment

While it is common for a person to shut down emotionally and verbally when experiencing overwhelming feelings, it can also be used intentionally as a manipulation tactic. Cutting off communication is a form of manipulation sometimes used to emphasize your demands or express disapproval. This may include withholding affection, communication, or intimacy.

Leadership

Sometimes this can be used to win an interview. Always present yourself as you are aware of the situation. When you show that you know what you’re talking about, people are more attracted to you and trust you. You can do this by sharing your experiences or what you have learned. For example, include any relevant education or achievements you have obtained. The more confident and experienced you appear, the more likely people are to listen to you.

Change the subject

Changing the subject is a normal aspect of conversations, but a manipulator uses this passive-aggressive tactic to confuse or distract the other person from the real topic. When a partner makes a valid statement in a conversation or receives a compliment from another person, a manipulator will change the subject to stop them from talking to divert attention and appear in the spotlight.

Mirror body language

People prefer to be with others who are similar to them. Manipulators subtly replicate body language, such as leaning in when they do it or matching their facial expressions to win people over.

Sweet talk

Sweet words, like compliments, can have a significant impact on how others see you. When you compliment someone, your mood instantly improves, boosts your confidence, and makes you more willing to listen to you. Take note of these subtle tips to warn your friends about opportunistic manipulators.

Embracing Emotional Appeal

This method can be used to make friends. Another great way to win people over is to share personal emotional stories and experiences. When you share an experience that brings up feelings of happiness, sadness, or inspiration, it creates a strong connection while encouraging people to support your ideas.
