Manipulators or so-called Machiavellians are individuals known for their destructive behavior towards other people.
Manipulators, along with narcissists and psychopaths, are part of the “dark triad” and are the “bad guys” in terms of the type of mental disorder.
For this reason, it is extremely important to know the basic techniques of Machiavellians, so as not to inadvertently fall into their trap.
A flurry of details
Abusers very often dump a real heap of personal information on their interlocutors.
This action is carried out with the aim of winning you over as quickly as possible and eliciting a trusting response from you.
Checking the boundaries
Machiavellians seek to literally get under your skin to discover all your hidden worries and fears.
Subsequently, your abusers will effectively use your own secrets against you.
The pressure of courtesy
Do you feel a whole stream of flattery directed at you? This is a reason to be wary.
After all, it costs nothing for a manipulator to praise you in order to quickly get closer to you and begin to control you.
