Manipulators may use flattery to manipulate their victims from "summary" of Dark Psychology Emotional Manipulation by David Bennis
Flattery is a common tool used by manipulators to get what they want from their victims. It is like a sweet poison that lures the victim into a false sense of security and trust. By showering the victim with compliments and praise, the manipulator can easily gain their trust and make them more susceptible to manipulation. The victim may feel good about themselves and be more willing to do what the manipulator wants in return for more flattery. This creates a cycle of dependency where the victim seeks validation and approval from the manipulator, making them more vulnerable to manipulation. The manipulator may use flattery to exploit the victim's weaknesses and insecurities. By preying on their vulnerabilities, the manipulator can gain control over the victim and manipulate them into doing things they wouldn't normally do. This can lead to a toxic relationship where the victim is constantly seeking validation from the manipulator, who in turn uses flattery to keep them under their control. It is important for individuals to be aware of the manipulative tactics used by others, including flattery. By recognizing when someone is using flattery to manipulate them, they can take steps to protect themselves and break free from the cycle of manipulation. Being able to see through the sweet words and false compliments can help individuals maintain their independence and protect themselves from emotional manipulation.
