Persuasion

If you feel lost, or perhaps dependent on others, then you might be the victim of Manipulation. You might feel like others control you too easily, or perhaps you end up in situations you try to wish your way out of. If you often feel lost, or like others have too much power over you, it’s time to start identifying the ways that you might be being manipulated.

Manipulation is a dangerous tool that can find itself in the hands of anyone. Those who are aware of their influence over other people can choose to do two things with that amount of control. They can use it for good, to lead others and help a community thrive. It can also be used to take advantage of people, and unfortunately, this is the path that many choose.

It’s never easy for an individual to admit that they might be the victim of manipulation, but it’s an important step in order to recover from the damage manipulation has caused. Those that have been manipulated often feel like they don’t have a strong individual sense. They might become codependent on the person that has manipulated them for so long.

It can be a hopeless feeling for a person to realize they have been manipulated. Although it’s not always easy to overcome, breaking free of manipulation is possible. There are a few important steps it takes to become free of manipulation in one’s life.
