Manipulators thrive on power and control over others from "summary" of Mind Hacking - Mental Manipulation and Dark Psychology by KEVIN J. ALLEN

Manipulators are individuals who derive a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment from exerting power and control over others. 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. Manipulators often exhibit narcissistic tendencies, viewing themselves as superior beings who are entitled to control those around them. They lack empathy and often disregard the feelings and needs of others in their quest for dominance. This relentless pursuit of power can be harmful not only to their victims but also to the manipulators themselves, as it perpetuates a cycle of toxic behavior and perpetuates their own insecurities.
