This need for dominance often stems from a deep-seated insecurity or fear of being vulnerable. By manipulating others, they are able to maintain a facade of strength and superiority. Manipulators are skilled at identifying and exploiting the weaknesses of their targets. They use various tactics such as gaslighting, guilt-tripping, and emotional manipulation to break down their victim's defenses and gain the upper hand. This allows them to establish a sense of authority and dominance over those around them. The desire for power and control is a driving force for manipulators. They thrive on the feeling of being able to influence and manipulate the thoughts, feelings, and actions of others. This gives them a sense of validation and validation of their own worth.
