How to USE dark psychology to get what you want - Powerful techniques.

// THREAD //
In a Utopian world, people would look out for each other. There would be no locks on doors, Strangers would be kind.

Unfortunately, we don& #39;t. It& #39;s a cut throat world out there.

There& #39;s always someone waiting to take advantage of you.

Learn the art of manipulation
To manipulate someone you need to have a goal to nudge them towards.

Even better, is to use their own goals to advance your own agenda.

Use irrational behaviour inherent in humans to your advantage

Start thinking objectively and try to control the flow of information.
Use this to get people to agree with you

➼ Subtly copy your target. This is a sign to their Subconscious that we are alike. Rapport building.

➼ Begin with obvious facts that don& #39;t need a lot to agree with. Repeat their own thoughts out loud.

➼ Slowly introduce your ideas
➼ Use transition words like because, then, likewise to show that the idea they agreed with leads to this conclusion.

➼ Watch their response, when copying them play with the tempo. If they speed up to match you - you& #39;re in control.

➼ Ask for a pony settle for a puppy.
➼ If you want acceptance on a radical idea, propose something even more radical. Eg, Pony and puppy.

➼ Reframe all disagreements. "I& #39;m sorry you feel that way about what I said".

➼ Anchor an idea with one they& #39;ve already agreed to. Sneak in your ideas with what they want.

Falsely advertising humility to invoke an empathetic response. This will make your target trust you

Ex - Humble Bragging, admitting you can& #39;t resist giving a discount to the elderly.

Pretending to be vulnerable - makes you seem more human.

People are more likely to remember incomplete tasks.

Ex - A waiter is more likely to remember oders to tables who haven& #39;t paid.

This is why tv shows have cliffhangers.

Tell a story with pauses. During pauses give them quick commands.

Take for example,
"You won& #39;t believe what happened yesterday. I was on a run in the woods. Halfway through I saw this strange shadow in the....can you shut the door for me?..... bushes. Turns out it was a mountain lion looking for a meal. It was terrifying I was almost .... Move here please... "
Always remember to follow these principles,

➼ Reciprocity
➼ Consistency
➼ Likeable
➼ Authoritative
➼ Scarcity
➼ Consensus

How to use these techniques is upto you.

However I strong urge you to draw the line at breaking the law or causing emotional trauma.
