Subvert someone's will from "summary" of Manipulation and Dark Psychology by Jonathan Mind
Gaining control over someone's decisions and actions is possible with clever tactics. It takes knowledge and skill to influence thinking and behavior, but it is possible to subvert someone's will.- Appearing friendly and accommodating can go a long way in subverting another person's will––they feel comfortable and trusting towards you and are more likely to give in to your requests.
- Persuasion is an art of gaining control over someone by making them believe in what you want them to believe in. Subverting someone's will is a process that involves subtly altering their decisions and opinions without them being aware of it.
- Planting ideas into the target’s mind while making them think its their own idea is an effective method for subverting their will. Convincing the target with logical reasoning and facts gives an even stronger foothold when it comes to influencing their opinion.
- It is important to understand the psychology behind manipulating people and to use effective techniques such as reverse psychology, guilt tripping, flattery, and false praise to influence someone's judgment.
- Timing is crucial when attempting to manipulate someone. Picking moments right before the target goes through a major change in their life or makes a decision can make it easier to alter their knowledgebase and sway their judgement in favor of what you desire.
- Using subtle hints and gestures as well as genuine compliments and emotional appeals can be powerful tools when trying to subvert someone's judgement.
- Taking advantage of the trust they have put in you, slowly persuading them on your terms, and becoming the center of their attention are all ways to infiltrate their thoughts and feelings and ultimately victory subversion.
