thank you for watching :)

I love how they call it “dark psychology” like it’s some forbidden school of magic and not just emotional manipulation

[millennialboomer]

I like how they treat manipulation tactics like they're some kind of "dark magic". Really adds a lot of whimsy to the act of lying and manipulating people

[andythedishwasher]

I've known schizophrenic people that, when exposed to this concept of 'dark psychology', experienced serious exacerbations of their paranoia after contemplating the possibility that people were doing this to them. It compromised their interpersonal relationships to a massive degree. This stuff hurts people.

I wish we could get dark versions of other scientific fields, like Dark Geology (cursing rocks to have the opposite effects alt health gurus say they do) or Dark Entomology (Breeding killer bees in your estranged parents backyard)

Psychology Tip: To test if your friend is a narcissist, tell them you have a live squirrel inside your chest. Now *pay close attention* because their next reaction will tell you everything. If they have a hopeful look in their eye, it means they are a squirrel, and they think the squirrel in your chest might be their long lost sister. But if they have a hungry look in their eye, *they are a cannibal squirrel* and you need to flee as fast as you can

Repackaging emotional abuse tactics as "dark psychology" is really fun and cool

[puZZy]

"eat up, sluts" I LOST IT😭💀6:59

[toothfairy]

im actually aware of everyone's presence all of the time <3 my pscyhiatrist says i have "social anxiety" but now i know the truth... everyone in this grocery store wants me carnally

[annierebeccaa]

Funny, apparently we’re rebranding emotional abuse as “dark psychology.” Really has a cool ring to it

I love how the "dark psychology" bros are just an update to the thinking of "insert gifts, receive sex;" that we're just robots that just need to be hacked correctly to reliable dispense The Sex.

The “getting inside their mind” thing isn’t going to make them obsessed with you, it’s going to make them worried they did something wrong.

I am a person with npd and I’ve been feeling pretty awful lately because of this “narcissistic abuse” rhetoric online and seeing creators I look up to repeating it, and I was pretty scared to watch this video because of how awful people are to anyone with a personality disorder but omg thank you for being so normal it actually made my day to see someone even just sympathise with a hypothetical “narcissist”. The bar is low but that’s still incredibly rare so thank you so much, genuinely.

[clairecosio]

we always talk about "psychology facts" but never "psychology opinions" 😔

[BigFanOfManyThings]

As a ‘female’, I can confirm that we will indeed fall in love with anyone who constantly speaks in sarcasm, because if overused, it never loses its humour and in no way appears like they think we are stupid 👍🏼

[foy]

"They call him 'Headless' for more than one reason" is genius 😂

[Rubyskies]

The fact that calling it ""dark psychology" is basically just a method to make extremely toxic or manipulative shit sound like something "cool". Gotta love it/s

[Ellnador]

As a psychologist, it’s always really validating and humbling when people disagree with my professional opinion because it doesn’t coincide with the PSYCHOLOGY FACTS they saw on TikTok once

[zarajday]

As a psychology major, it drives me crazy how much pop-psych has poisoned most people's concept of how the human mind works. It seems anyone can make up a new difference between men and women, or how to tell if your crush likes you, and people will spread it around like influenza. Actual psychology is so fascinating that I struggle to see why people need to make up things to talk about.

[connorburton]

Those "Dark Psychology" TikToks have the same energy as that prohibition-era grape juice with a label essentially saying: "Warning: Do not follow this series of detailed steps or this grape juice would turn into wine."

[thepeasrolledoffthecounter]

I don't know if I'm just really fragile in terms of friendships but whenever someone tries to do "psychology test" bullshit on me I just feel betrayed and I don't remember staying friends with people who have tried it
