Have you felt that someone was taking advantage of you? Have you done something unwillingly, just for guilt or fear of hurting people? Have you felt tricked into doing something you didn't want to do?
You might have been MANIPULATED.
Manipulation is common in everyday life, and manipulators use strategies and techniques of emotional blackmail to seize control Companies, politicians, media, but also peers and family may negatively affect you, intentionally or not. It is because humans influence each other all the time, in all sorts of ways. But what sets apart manipulation from other influences, and what makes it dangerous?
Unlike persuasion, manipulation acts at a deeper and subconscious level. It occurs when you induce someone to do something, by distorting their perception of reality.
It is important to distinguish healthy social influence, which occurs between most people, and undue influence, where one person is used for the benefit of another.
