It often happens that a manipulator suddenly appears in our environment, trying to establish his own rules of the game.
As a rule, the body itself reacts to overt abuse. For example, an irresistible desire to retreat from such an interlocutor arises.
However, there are three mandatory techniques for every manipulator.
These kinds of “beacons” should prompt you to stop communicating with the described subject.
Constant gaslighting
If your interlocutor claims that certain facts you voice are a figment of your imagination, it is worth taking action.
In particular, you can record all important agreements with the manipulator in order to subsequently present them as irrefutable evidence.
False generalizations
You made a remark to someone, and he thought that you criticized and scolded him? Hurry to stop contacting him.
It is also not forbidden to ask him to specify what exactly made him make such conclusions about you.
Unclear terms
This technique is typical of scammers, who very often use complex financial terms to confuse the victim.
To turn the situation to your advantage, clarify with the interlocutor what exactly is being discussed until you get specific information. Or better yet, end the conversation right away.
