6. Let them know what the consequences are
If by any chance, this person is not taking “no” for an answer and keeps playing dirty, the next thing you should do is to make them see what the consequences are. Let them know you can also play the game, and explain what the lack of respect and consideration will lead them to. It’s not a threat; it’s simply letting them know the facts. This will make the manipulative person shift their attitude from aggressive to respectful.7. Don’t be afraid of confrontation
Manipulation comes hand in hand with bullying, after all, manipulation is intimidation in a certain way, and it’s common for the victim to feel mistreated. You should know about bullies because they only pick on people they find weak or at least weaker than they are. So as long as you keep your head low and behave passively, you’re only allowing them to perceive you as weak. Remember that all bullies are cowards, and as soon as you behave like a powerful person, they’ll immediately back down. Ultimately, there’s no magic way on how to stop being manipulative. Some people are just too deep into the manipulation game to the point of no return, but that’s not a “you problem”; therefore, you shouldn’t even allow them to dictate your life or feelings. Our job is to look out for ourselves in the first place, so start thinking more about how you feel, and stop trying pleasing others. That’s the only way you can have a fulfilled life.- Advertisement -
