In contradiction of my first experience, individual psychological manipulation generally happens in intimate relationships. As a result, the victim often does not readily identify the manipulator because of the intimate relationship. Accordingly, different from the way I approached my first experience, in the second experience, besides talking about tactics and my feeling as a victim, I also want to examine the background of the manipulator. As I mentioned earlier, most manipulators have some sort of personality disorder trait. This doesn’t mean that manipulators have a personality disorder but rather that their profile fits some of the criteria.…

Think about brainwashing, or just how the majority of people think a certain way because they were told something is true or not. Psychological manipulation is a form of social influence a person imposes to alter the thoughts and perceptions of others.

Knowing the psychological weaknesses of the victim helps to determine which tactics are going to be most effective on said person. In 1984, psychological manipulation is used to coerce the people of Oceania into doing as the Party says. They did this by the constant watching of the citizens through television screens placed all over the city and in the homes of the civilians. The constant surveillance with the threat of punishment and death looming overhead makes it easy to believe in what you…

Bullying is projected as detrimental to the person who is being hurt. People are not always informed about the one who is doing the bullying and what they have to go through. As a society, the focus on self harm is so heavy it seems as if that is the only option for the people being bullied. Bullying can have worse effects on the bully rather than the person who is being made fun of. We know that bullying is wrong and that it shouldn’t happen, but some say that it made them stronger.…

My own view is that there is no…
