My mother gave me a unique gift, the ability to manipulate and read people without them detecting and believing they’re in control. Now you can’t teach people manipulation. Not true manipulation you’re either raised with it or you learn it from life. I did both. Most importantly you need to have the intelligence to understand people are always more than they seem, to not judge people or assume what they do in front of you is all they are. Manipulation is often perceived completely incorrectly like a guy trying to sleep with a women in a club. Or a girl pretending to be your friend so she can backstab you. Truth is yes, its manipulation but it’s manipulation so basic I wouldn’t even try putting it in the same category. I could look into someone and pull out their worst fears or deepest desires in our first conversation and use it in a way they’d believe they were in control. True manipulation doesn’t require lies, alcohol, drugs it’s letting them think they’re in control when in reality you are. I call it reverse manipulation, allow them to try to get you to do an objective but use it to achieve you’re own objective or better yet letting them fuck over themselves through their own actions. Shit it was easy, being able to detect the abuse someone has gone through or what they desire most is literally inside of their personality. Look at the way they talk, behave and react. Look at their goals, life and relationships. All of it is there, you just need to look closer. I watch people, it’s amusing to say the least. I’d have guys or girls think I was dumb or they were able to manipulate me, or even better they could gain my trust. In reality? I’d tell secrets to the right person to get them leaked. I’d let the someone think they were the smartest person in the room because trying to educate an ignorant and obnoxious individual is like trying to get fish to breathe out of water. I’d be there for someone who didn’t even know it, then they’d pour out their pain that they’d never told anyone. I could become whatever you needed, as long as I choose to. To say the least people underestimated me, but at the last second I would pull out my weapons if necessary. Always let people underestimate you, if they think your stupid they won’t be cautious and you can fight back when the time comes. Whether you can manipulate or not you’ll have the upper hand. Manipulation is a gift if done properly, taking advantage of drunk girls isn’t manipulation it’s illegal plus it’s pathetic. I’ve had the skill my entire life, very little people I’ve met that manipulate have the manipulative depth I can do. There’s many surfaces, don’t think one or two or even three is good. People are complex but honestly they have a basic formula. Discover it and you will be able to quite honestly get whatever you want. Have morals though, having this gift is a responsibility be trustworthy, kind and don’t do it for selfish reasons. You’re going into their minds, darkest secrets, holding their hearts in your hands and going into their thoughts. It’s intrusive and trust me I can’t pretend something’s not there to myself. But I can pretend with other people so be good, you’ll find a ton of darkness in the world but if you’re like me and use the gift for good you’ll be the light for somebody. You can change their lives forever and for the first time they can even trust someone.
