(1) Always stay awake and ignore excessive praise and belittle. People who are good at using psychological games should first let the manipulated people put down their defenses at the beginning of manipulation. At this time, they usually blow our self-confidence by over-praising and belittling. Most people are emotional animals, they will be delighted when they hear praise, and they will gladly accept it even if they exaggerate the facts. However, when they are degraded, they easily lose control of their emotions, thus leaving an attack loophole for the manipulator. Therefore, to avoid being manipulated, the first step is to stay awake at all times, have a clear understanding of yourself and listen to other people's comments, good and bad. You should be the one who knows you best. (2) Be clear about your real needs and always remind yourself. At the beginning of the conversation, we often don't chat with anti-manipulation behavior, which will cause mental fatigue and add a lot of unnecessary pressure to ourselves. The simplest and best way is to remind yourself, always tell yourself what the real needs are, and put every action on the set goals instead of following others' words.
