The 12 Keys to Manipulate Someone

Progress: 0%

Key 1: Know Their Weakness

Find their vulnerabilities—fear, insecurity, ambition—and use them as leverage. Observe their behavior, ask loaded questions, and exploit their environment to uncover their weak spots.

Key 2: Create False Trust

Build trust by acting as their ally. Mirror their behavior, fake vulnerability, and do small favors to make them feel indebted, giving you access to their emotions.

Key 3: Dominate the Narrative

Control their perception of reality by planting your version of the truth, sowing doubt, and repeating your narrative until it becomes their reality.

Key 4: Isolate Them

Cut them off from friends, family, and other influences to make them dependent on you. Sow division and monopolize their time to ensure you're their only anchor.

Key 5: Play the Victim

Use guilt by acting hurt to make them feel responsible for your pain. Craft sob stories and demand reparations to keep them on the defensive.

Key 6: Use Fear

Instill fear of loss, failure, or shame to paralyze their decision-making. Use subtle threats and amplify their insecurities to keep them compliant.

Key 7: Offer False Promises

Dangle unattainable rewards like success or love to keep them chasing. Make promises conditional on their obedience to maintain control.

Key 8: Drive Them Crazy

Gaslight them by denying their reality and questioning their sanity. Use contradictions and blame to make them doubt themselves and rely on you.

Key 9: Reward Obedience

Condition them to obey by rewarding compliance with praise or small favors. Vary rewards to keep them addicted to your approval.

Key 10: Punish Rebellion

Crush defiance with emotional pain, withdrawal of approval, or escalated consequences. Make rebellion feel costly to enforce compliance.

Key 11: Shift the Blame

Deflect responsibility by blaming them for failures. Use their weaknesses and guilt to keep them feeling at fault and under your control.

Key 12: Make Them Dependent

Strip their confidence and resources to make them rely on you for decisions, emotions, and survival. Become their only anchor.
