You don’t have to become One to beat a Manipulator—just think like them and stay vigilant.

Keep Your Distance

One way to detect a manipulator is to see if someone acts with different faces in front of people and in different situations.

While all of us have a degree of this type of social differentiation, some psychological manipulators tend to dwell in extremes habitually, being highly polite to one individual and completely rude to another—or helpless one moment and fiercely aggressive the next.

When you observe this type of behavior from an individual regularly, keep a healthy distance, and avoid engaging with the person unless you have to.

As mentioned earlier, the reasons for chronic psychological manipulation are complex and deep-seated. It is not your job to change or save them.

Manipulators exploit weaknesses—emotional vulnerabilities, trust, or ignorance. Recognize what they target and why.

Predators feed on emotional reactions. By staying calm and composed, you deny them the leverage they crave.

Guilt-tripping, gaslighting, and flattery are their tools.

Familiarize yourself with these tactics to see them coming.

Manipulators set narratives to their advantage. Take control of conversations and redirect their attempts to manipulate.

Information is power. Keep your intentions, weaknesses, and plans hidden from prying eyes.

 Adopt their strategic thinking. Observe, anticipate, and use subtle counters to undermine their efforts.

 Manipulators rely on words to deceive. Trust only consistent actions over time, not hollow assurances.

 Predictability makes you easy prey. Keeping them guessing gives you an upper hand. when necessary.

You don’t have to become one to beat a manipulator—just think like them and stay vigilant.

 Thank you ….There are many red flags when you are dealing with a bad-intentioned person if you know what you are looking for.

When I first meet any new person or soul I tend to watch out for certain things, especially there intentions whether they are bad, or whether they are as pure as gold itself.

Firstly I think that eye contact is a prerequisite, and no I don't mean flat-out staring, as that's just plain rude,and with the wrong person that may just get you in trouble, or hurt, in the circles that I choose to interact with in my own life.

I tend to pay attention to their body language, as a must.

Because, when you tell something to someone, if you pay attention to their body language,as it speaks louder than any words that I could, and would be able to express to you.I like to tell them something far out but real about myself, to gauge their reactions.

And if I like what I see I go deeper into the depths of my life and perceptions. Most ask me why I do this, and that's simple, if you want to be trusted in this world you must first give trust, as it's a two-way street, in my opinion.

But if they can maintain their body language, not be rude about it, and keep eye contact without rolling their eyes, looking up, or down, which is a clear sign of disrespect, and that they either don't believe you which at that point I would gladly say “no", and goodbye loser.

But on the other hand if they don't and they make you feel like their listening it shows that they are firstly listening, and they are paying attention to you when you speak or converse.

Another red flag is how they talk and treat absolute strangers, do they judge, or talk badly about them, or are they only rude to them?

Do you want to add a word or two?

If they are they're just playing a false facade to you and they are being connived and flying under the Rader, which would make me suspicious, and question their anterior motives as to why, and what they are trying to manipulate from you because that's exactly what they are trying to do, so be wary of this at all times, to avoid unneeded hurt, and suffering, just like a narcissist would and does do for an example to you, as they are just poison who will try to rip out your soul, just for kicks.

And their dead giveaway signs is, they make you feellike you are crazy and paranoid, and your perception of reality will change and will shift. You will start to question everything about yourself you once thought unshakeable and solid as a chunk of steel, just saying that they are the best manipulators, and they get off on seeing you squirm in your skin and your mind.

And if they aren't, you'll feel safe to talk and divulge anything, which is a dead giveaway that they do in fact care, and that their intentions are pure.

Your comments ……

Because they pay attention, listen without judgment, and genuinely seem to care about you and your future prospects, which is as rare as red ruby, so cherish it, and them, just like you would your own family, because if they can pass this very simple test, then as far as I'm concerned they already are, and if not no harm, has yet to be done averted, before it even begins, well to me anyways.

But all of these are just like you can take with a grain of salt are just a few examples of how to tell if t these simple techniques in place will, ill wills away from you.
