What is Psychological Manipulation?

Psychological manipulation, to put it in the most general way, is the manipulation of the manipulated victim or the human community by taking it under its own influence. Directing a person or a human community by influencing them emotionally and using them in accordance with their wishes \earnings, directing them by influencing them outside of their own consciousness or without noticing is psychological manipulation. The person who practices manipulation is called a manipulator. Manipulators have common personality traits. Manipulators observe the emotional and psychological weaknesses of the person in front of them very well and they know well which technique can be most effective on the other side. Manipulators are also people who are too callous to empathize with how much damage they can do to the other person when they are under the influence. The person who is being manipulated does not realize that he is under this influence and moves in the direction that the manipulator wants. After a ruthless manipulator has influenced you with a few manipulation techniques, you can act according to his direction, even if you don't really want to, and you may suddenly find that you don't want to do this and actually start questioning how you did what you were doing at that moment. When you are under the influence of a manipulator, you come to the situation that you can no longer refuse his wishes and do whatever he wants. Psychological manipulation is known as a type of social influence that allows you to direct your desires by influencing the thoughts and feelings of others with deceptive or even abusive actions. Manipulation techniques can be applied against you from time to time by people you don't expect, such as your close circle, boss, teachers, boyfriends/girlfriends, spouse, or more likely by people or people who speak against society more, such as politicians. Most of the time, you may be manipulated by someone like the person or people in this example I have mentioned without even realizing it. Many people under the influence of manipulation do not realize this situation until they come out of this psychological influence. Since every person's thoughts and feelings are different from each other, there are many manipulation techniques available.
