Forms of manipulation
We are continually subject to manipulation. For instance:
- Gaslighting: It involves encouraging someone to doubt their own judgment and to rely on the manipulator's advice instead.
- Guilt trips: Making someone feel overly guilty for failing to do what the manipulator wants him/her to do.
- Peer pressure: Caring so much about the manipulator's approval that she/he will obey the manipulators' wishes.

Common Types Manipulators
The two most common types of manipulators are bullies and “victims”.
Bullies make you feel fearful and might use aggression, threats and intimidation to control you, while “victims” engenders a feeling of guilt in their target by acting hurt when denied something.
Gaslighting
The term refers to manipulation that gets people to question themselves, their reality, memory or thoughts. Gaslighters twist what you say and make it about them, hijacking the conversation or making you feel like you’ve done something wrong when you haven’t.
Gaslighted people often feel a false sense of guilt or defensiveness, as if they failed completely or did something wrong when they didn’t.

Set Consequences
When a psychological manipulator insists on violating your boundaries, and won’t take “no” for an answer, deploy consequence.
Effectively articulated, consequence gives pause to the manipulative individual, and compels her or him to shift from violation to respect.

Diplomatically but firmly. A well articulated “no” allows you to stand your ground while maintaining a workable relationship.
