[h2]What is manipulation?[/h2]
Manipulation is a common type of communication between people. Its essence is that one person influences another in order to achieve their hidden intentions.
At the same time, the person being influenced is perceived precisely as an object, a means to achieve an end, and not as a separate subject.
There are many types of manipulation in the modern world. But we will talk about the main, most common 3 types of manipulations.
[h2]Types of manipulation[/h2]
Types of manipulation include strategies for manipulating behavior in order to influence an object. As mentioned above, there are quite a lot of such strategies. But there are basic, most common ones.
[h3]Feeling guilty[/h3]
We've all felt guilty at least once for the things we've done or the words we've said. Conscience is a normal feeling of a mentally healthy person, it regulates our behavior in society, in relation to ourselves and other people.
But it often happens that the feeling of guilt is too strong, disproportionate to the act.
Very often, this feeling arises as a result of the fact that a person is being manipulated by a hidden influence. The manipulator (most often consciously) finds a person's weak point in the process of communication and begins to "put pressure" on him.
For example:
You quarreled with your boyfriend/girlfriend, and he loses in this one, then, in order not to apologize, the manipulator will necessarily impose a sense of guilt.:
"So I'm a bad friend/girlfriend?! Not good enough for you?!"
"You don't respect/love me!"
"You're too selfish."
If you hear a similar phrase from a loved one, you should never start making excuses, and that's what the manipulator wants. The relationship will not deteriorate if you ignore this person, in fact-it's scary for him, because subconsciously he understands that he is to blame!
[h3]Closer-further[/h3]
This type of manipulation is used by people who are very insecure, with low self-esteem and a lot of fears. The essence of manipulation is to alternate interest and coldness.
For example: A person shows a warm and interested attitude for a long time, cares, gives attention, empathizes. But suddenly he disappears for a long time and stops communicating. The subject responds coldly and indifferently to all actions and questions. And then it reappears and everything starts all over again.
What is the specifics of this manipulation? It works because anxiety grows in a person who is affected, he is subject to emotions and cannot reason sensibly. First, the subject pays attention, then pulls away, then pays attention again, and so on in a circle.
The goal: to create a weak-willed person from the object of manipulation who will do whatever the manipulator wants, and he does it because he is afraid of losing attention, love and care again.
At first glance, it seems that it is very easy to stop communicating with such a manipulator, but this is not the case. All the stages smoothly replace each other and the person does not notice how they are being hooked, because sometimes we ourselves do not notice how we begin to think about the manipulator.
[h3]Fear of loss[/h3]
And finally, the most cruel and inhumane remains (although perhaps manipulation of any kind is difficult to call humane in principle).
This is a manipulation of the fear of loss. What is he like?
From the name, it can be understood that this manipulation is based on fear. And not just out of fear, but out of fear of losing something, most often it's an attitude, a job, a loved one. It is somewhat similar to guilt, but it has a natural human fear of losing something. This is exactly what manipulation is dangerous for.
For example: A person who is very dear to you is trying to influence you, in order to subordinate you to his will, so that you lose your principles, desires and interests, he tells you the trail. the words:
"If you don't do....., I'll leave you"
"If you don't stop communicating with your friends, I'll commit suicide /find someone else, etc."
And many other phrases.
The degree of influence and the choice of words that the manipulator uses comes from the information that the person provides to him. Most of the time, we reveal our cards to the manipulator, because he "ingratiates himself" in a way that is not the most honest.
Let's summarize the results. Is it possible to say that it is necessary to study manipulation?
Definitely, yes! People who try to achieve their goals by covertly influencing other people have always been and will always be.
