This was perfect timing! I have a friend who is in a bad situation with her spouse and I think once I show her this video it will help her understand what exactly is going on. Thank you so much for this!

Let me tell you…. When you tell someone who is trying to manipulate you that you are going to call a 3rd party to get their opinion & see what’s up… be prepared for backlash! I tried this with my ex and he literally tripped over himself to stop me from dialing. They don’t actually want you to tell anyone the things they say behind closed doors, because they KNOW they’re manipulating you. That was a big eye opener for me !

Bottom line: Never engage in a police interrogation. Even if you're innocent. Police are often more interested in a confession than learning truth and will absolutely lie. the best solution is to ALWAYS invoke your right to remain silent.

Any time someone is telling you what you’re thinking, you’re being manipulated.

[PrXxYz]

Staying calm and having a straight face makes it much harder for them to manipulate you since they can’t use your emotions against you. Your emotions are a key subject to manipulate you.

Manipulators…
1. are extremely goal-oriented
- counter: “What other options do we have?”
2. try to dictate your mental state
- counter: “Why do you say that?” / “I disagree.”
3. present opinions as facts
- counter: “How do you know?”
4. use ambiguous social proof
- counter: (opposite) ambiguous social proof
5. work 1 on 1
- counter: seek third party / witness / lawyer
6. exaggerate and fabricate (to cause false memories)
- counter: be excessively critical; use deception indicators (to form your own opinion based on facts)

Another response, to a suspicious question, that has served me well is "why do you want to know"!!

If you think you can't be manipulated, you'll make a perfect target. No one is immune.

[stevenphelps]

Interrogations to this extreme should be illegal should be able to sue the shit out of them for mental abuse.

It's always a good idea to ask yourself what's in it for the other person. Don't be paranoid about it, but don't assume they're trying to help either.

Keep the three headings in mind at all times when in conversation I say..
Could this person be persuading me, or manipulating me or gaslighting me. ???
So many people seem to have motives or secret agendas and just take advantage of your innocent, naive, trusting personality. Its a wake-up call !!.
Absolutely brilliant video❤

This presentation is more constructive than one might first suppose. Thank you.
Per #5 I would add, keep a journal. There are two reasons for this. Considering that someone trying to manipulate or gaslight you, especially using isolation tactics, consider:
1) Keeping a journal helps you track and reflect on a) psychological and emotional dynamics of each party that came into play, b) facilitating deeper access to meaningful understandings, and thus c) developing abilities for making better choices (better handling), and
2) in the absence of witnesses, a dated journal presents a viable evidentiary record ...journals and diaries are powerful evidence in any court of law, and opinion.

I finally was able to say to my manipulative ex to not tell me what I think or feel because I can speak for myself. Putting words, thoughts or ideas into someone else is abusive. Gaslighting is brainwashing.

[FlavioMarceloSousa]

Brilliant tips! Manipulation technique #7 would be repetition: manipulators repeat the same thing over and over again and just don't stop until they get what they want.

That interview is despicable. I hope that poor man sues the bejesus out of those responsible. It won't give him all those lost years back. Those detectives are right in his face too. Argh! Thank you so much for this Spidey! This is happening to me now by several members of my family. So much so that I am going to move away and not even tell them where I am. I am going to watch this so often until it's stuck fast in my mind. You're a star!

[NathanShaw-svxe]

If being social is filled with these kinds of dangers.... Don't ridicule or diagnose me for keeping to myself.

[victoriafranklin]

I was gaslighted by my ex husband. I wasn’t even allowed to talk to his friends unless I had something “smart” to say. Or when I raised my voice (which was not a lot) he would tell me to “calm down” and “text me whenever your done with your tantrum” like I was a child. I finally had the courage to leave him in 2020 before the pandemic.

[csbicjb]

I’ve noticed that when I am being manipulated and that feeling of discomfort takes over because it’s happening so quick, I tend to freeze and my childhood self comes out so I lose my sense of intelligence and self-control. It’s not till after the interaction that I can clearly see all the red flags. I pray that God blesses my awareness in my mind with the ability to act while the moment is happening so I may maintain my frame and not be taken advantage of. You’re doing a great service to humanity and for that may God bless you and yours always brother.

Love that you're goal is to help people who are being manipulated! I was in a manipulative relationship, very bad gas lighting and it was difficult to get completely away from the person and I don't want anyone to have to go through what I did. No one deserves to be treated that way!
