There are no such weaknesses that would not be used for the covert management of people. Fears, insecurity, flaws and stereotypes are inherent in every person. Of course, they should work and fight. After all, often they interfere with a full life, and very often become a tool of manipulation in the hands of other people.
What you need to know
The art of manipulation is not only the knowledge of weaknesses. It is very important to know that:
- Any skill requires training. One theory of manipulation should not be guided, practice is necessary. Virtually no human skill comes from nowhere.
- Each person has his own individual psyche. If some methods work for one, there is no guarantee that they will work for the other. Their knowledge and skills should be applied to people with extreme caution.
- You can influence a person only if he is located towards you.
- Before convincing a person of something, it is necessary to find out the maximum amount of information about him. For example, a place of work or study and personal qualities.
- To manage people, you must be absolutely confident in your words.
Human weaknesses
All people in the world are imperfect by nature. We have shortcomings and human weaknesses, which very often prevent us from living peacefully. Before you start fighting them, you need to identify them.
But, unfortunately, people rarely possess such qualities as self-criticism. Almost everyone thinks that he is right in everything, and the rest are simply opposed to him. Moreover, a person lived for a long time with his weaknesses, and they began to be perceived as an integral extension of his own "I". Therefore, getting rid of them is very difficult.
Women tend to justify their weaknesses. They can spend significant amounts of money on shopping and beauty salons, but call it a manifestation of self-love.
Often our weaknesses pull us down, preventing us from developing and progressing. In addition, they negatively affect our health and take a lot of free time.
Human weaknesses often become the main cause of conflicts in the family, at work, in a public place, etc. By working to get rid of them, a person makes life easier for himself and his inner circle.
Greed and envy
Every person has a weak spot. It is very easy to find. Perhaps the most common weakness in people is greed and envy. And very often these qualities are used for covert management of people. The irresistible desire to get rich, with a minimum of effort, is enjoyed by the majority, from casinos and players on the exchange to people playing cards. Trainings are especially popular, where a person who drives an old budget car gives lectures on how to become a millionaire.
Banking institutions also manipulate people on greed, offering another loan. This feeling is the basis for most of the advertising. And often people who want to look rich and successful acquire completely unnecessary things.
Envy is often used in an unfair fight, when a more successful person is accused of doing well. If a friend has got an expensive car, then this will certainly cause a feeling of envy among his friends and neighbors.
Man's fears
Fear of something is a natural phenomenon for a person, designed to protect him from death. But very often the feeling is used to secretly control people.
People have been studying their own fears and trying to understand their causes for a very long time. This feeling is most often used in order to give in to secret control. Of course, fear is necessary for us to preserve ourselves. But it is impossible to give this feeling to control you either.
Suggestibility
What are the methods of exposure to humans? Psychology views suggestion as one of the most powerful tools for managing people. Everyone understands that the well-known placebo effect is very often triggered. For example, instead of prescribed medication, the patient is given an ordinary dummy and is assured that such a pill will cure him. And indeed, such a “treatment” helps many!
Almost all people are subject to suggestion, but to a different extent. The most suggestible are children, the elderly and people who are unsure of themselves. It should be noted that women are more susceptible to suggestion than men. Education lowers this feeling, since educated people tend to trust their minds more and, therefore, direct arguments and evidence.
According to studies, it was found that a person who assures his rivals of his victory really becomes a winner.
Particularly severe weaknesses are manifested in a state of stress. Therefore, very often suggestibility becomes an excellent source of income for magicians and sorcerers.
Food
Without food, a person cannot last long. With the help of food, people are manipulated, first imposing them gluttony, and then offering a huge variety of diets.
Food provides many ways to manipulate both open and explicit control of humanity. People forget about the dangers of many products that are produced by modern manufacturers. In fact, it turns out that food begins to control a person. Sometimes people tend to become her hostages.
Lust
How to find a weak spot in a person? Psychology supports the assertion that the instinct of reproduction is inherent in nature. But the continued development of people at the intellectual and social level has led to the fact that humanity has acquired the criteria of moral behavior. A healthy society is inherent in putting tradition and family first.
Recently, lust has become very often used to control a person. Such weaknesses of people greatly help the development of a business aimed at the production of goods, music and cinema, which are based on the human body.
Lust can distract any person from pressing troubles and problems. Therefore, manipulators very often use this.
A family with love, care and healthy relationships creates a strong foundation in achieving goals and objectives.
Exposure methods
Weaknesses of people greatly simplify the achievement of human goals in any areas: work, family, social activities. The main methods of exposure are as follows:
- The ability to interest a person. You do not need to have great skills for this. The main thing is to convince the interlocutor or to offer something in return. Motivation should be strong enough to prompt a person to the actions you need. Consider the situation regarding children: “Let’s you clean in your room, and I’ll give you candy.” Thus, motivation also works with adults, but a mutually beneficial offer should be much more serious. This may be a promotion, bonus or an additional day off.
- A trick is a manipulation technique that puts a controlled person in an awkward position. Very often, this technique is used in disputes and discussions.
- Stress. This condition is used by scammers to achieve their goals. This is a fairly simple method that does not require the development of additional skills. The fact is that a person who is in a state of stress, fear or depression, very easily falls under the influence of others and suggestion.
- Influence through stereotypes. Most often, images come into play that are well rooted in the human mind, as well as traditions and religious affiliation.
The techniques described above are very diverse. They can be used both in family relationships and at work. Managing people is considered a useful skill these days. Some tend to manipulate unknowingly. Applying techniques massively is very risky. It is advisable to do this only if most controlled people have the same pressure points, or at least similar ones.
