When You Get Manipulated

[Nova]

What I have learned from my experience is that when you get manipulated you have two option. One being go away from those people and second being you have to be more strong so much so that you don't get manipulated any more. That's what you should do.

What about you? How do you handle being manipulated?

I don't easily get manipulated. If someone tells me something, I try to verify the information from other sources. I never get carried away, it is not easy to manipulate me. When someone is trying to influence me, I try to analyze what he is actually trying to achieve by influencing me, and what benefits he gets.

Sometimes it is easy to get carried away. For example, I am easily manipulated by my parents and siblings. When you trust someone and when you love someone, it is easier for him or her to manipulate you. If these people really care about you, they will never manipulate you for wrong reasons.

When you show strength against manipulation, you would tend to end it forever. Running aways from the manipulator is a sign of weakness. And there is every tendency another person apart from that same person would still manipulate you sooner or later. Show mental strength against manipulation and you would never succumb to it.

it is better to go away from them for me. You might not be able to win with manipulation. So leave them behind

When someone starts making me feel guilty about a thing, I sense that the person wants to resort to manipulation. I just tell them right aways that the tactic of manipulation that they are trying to use would not work on me. They would promptly stop it.

It is very important to stay calm, assertive, and not let guilt or fear control your decisions. You can also seek support from trusted friends, family, or a therapist to navigate the situation. If needed be ready to walk off.

I have major trust issues and very seldom lower my walls long enough to let someone in. Manipulating me would be tantamount to a small miracle.

Getting manipulated is not always bad, right. For instance, my financial advisor might manipulate me to make financial decisions that might benefit me. Even my parents or my spouse might try to manipulate me. I think manipulation becomes bad when you are pushed into doing something that is self harming or harms other people.

When people manipulate others to achieve their own selfish interest, it is very wrong. It makes the other person feel and look stupid. Manipulation that doesn't have an undertone of selfishness might be good.

When I feel like I'm being manipulated, it's a really unsettling feeling. I start to question my own judgment and intentions. It's like someone is subtly trying to steer me in a direction that isn't truly my own. I often feel a sense of unease and a need to re-evaluate the situation and the other person's motives. It makes me more cautious and aware of the dynamics at play.
