Notes

Covert emotional manipulations where one gains control over another’s mind without their knowledge by making conversations with the listeners subconscious

Initial step is build a connection

Complement strangers or laugh at their jokes

Next step is to switch off the listener’s conscious mind ‘What if…’ or ‘Imagine this…’

Mirroring gets some to like and agree with you by copying their body language

When being manipulated, call it out and assertively point at how

Dark psychology within your own mind is unpredictable

Dark psychology assumes all people have the potential for violence

Distraction is an essential element of social control by flooding populations with trivial information to divert attention from problems and important changes decided by political and economic elites

Puppet masters don’t want to activate people’s thoughtful sides but rather stir up emotions and reach people’s unconscious

Make the individual believe he/she is a culprit of their own misfortune so they doubt their intelligence, ability and efforts

Play subliminal messages during sleep

Methods of persuasion:

• Create a need
• Appeal to societal needs
• Use loaded words and images
• Get your foot in the door with a small request 
• Go big then go small
• Utilize the power of reciprocity
• Create an anchor point for negotiations
• Limit your availability/introduce scarcity

Don’t fall into manipulative people’s traps

Steer clear of manipulators wherever possible

Call them out on their behaviour

Ignore everything they do and say 

Trust your judgment

Try not to fit in

Never ask for permission

Keep taking new opportunities

Let go of harmful relationships

Always follow your gut when cutting people out of your life

Do hard things and keep doing them even when you think you can’t

Give yourself positive self-talk throughout the day
