Good Day Readers, Today we will Continue with the Next Topic of our Chapter “The Importance of Reading People ” .
In this chapter we will be discussing about Reading People from Potential Victim`s Point of View.
If we take a look at Annie`s point of view and see things from her angle, we can try to get a sense of what this encounter might feel like and how you yourself should handle yourself in such an encounter.
The difficulty here, if the Practitioner is Good, is that there has yet to be any indication that this person is not who he says he is. Or is there?
Here are some Red Flags to look out for when a stranger approaches you and Tries to engage you, for whatever reason.
First of all, Annie may have noticed the presence of this man before if she had been paying attention. Remember how we discussed how David spent some looking around and observing potential targets? One of the first thing you can do to protect yourself in public is to be aware of your surrounding’s.
When Annie first gets to the park, she might look around and take note of the people who are there and what they are doing. A man alone staring at people is going to standout and look weird next to a bunch of couples or families, playing with a dog, or kids walking around, eating ice cream.
When this man approaches, she would have recognized him as someone acting oddly, so she would be careful to keep her distance and not relinquish and personal Information. Also, she would probably not agree to a second meeting, especially if she paid attention to her gut feeling of unease.
Second, the man asking for your Personal Information may be a Red Flag. You should not give up personal information to strangers in an encounter like this. The man may very well be who he says he is, but you should still be careful if you decide to see him again. 
This very well could turn out to be a potential romantic relationship with someone who cares about the same things you do, but this kind of process takes time, and the Dark Psychology user is more likely to try and expedite the process through charm and clever Lies. Be wary of someone who tries to expedite a friendly relationship with you right away.
Also, someone who is lying to you about his background or anything else will often shift his eyes away while he is thinking and coming up with the lie at the moment.
Pay attention to his behavior, just like he is observing you, and look for signs that he is trying hard to think and fill in gaps in his story to make himself sound more believable.
Next, you can really throw a Dark Psychology user off guard by asking questions. Play his game against him and make him come up with good answers to personal questions and questions about his work, his past times, and where he lives.
Nothing is off the table. If he is genuine, Honest person, this Information will roll off the tongue, and you will probably get some kind of positive gut feeling that this person is not a Threat.
However, if you see this man fidgeting, Looking away, or looking down at the ground, then it is likely he is trying hard to think of plausible answers, and you`ve knocked off his concentration.
In this situation, simply put up your Guard, don`t offer any relevant information about yourself or your Life, and feel free to enact some of those signals mentioned above, which will broadcast disinterest. Make your conversation answers short in order to bring the interaction to an end, or ask directly that you be left alone as you just want to Relax and Read.
These things will tell the Dark Psychology user that he is not going to get what he wants from you, and, hopefully, he will back off. If not, it`s time to notify the authorities if he continues to follow you around.
Call a friend to back case scenario, and, hopefully, this never happens to you, but it is always good to have a plan for when something like this might occur.

So, In Next Chapter we will Discuss about  “Manipulation Techniques“

Here We will Discuss the Importance of Reading People from 2 Perspectives – The Point of View and That of the Victim.

READING PEOPLE FROM DARK PSYCOLOGY USER`S POINT OF VIEW

As Mentioned Previously, one of the First and most Important Steps a Practitioner of Dark Psychology takes is is the Period of Observation where he/she is getting Ready to pick out his Victim or Plan his Approach for a Predetermined Victim. The Exact situation will care based on the Practitioner`s Purposes.

For Example, someone who is looking to establish a Relationship with a new Victim might Spend a Great Deal of time watching and Learning all he can about a Pool of Protentional Victims, while someone who intends to get on someone`s Good side at his place of Employment will have to work with the Potential Victim, alone with his/her Personality, Demeanor, and Vulnerability to Manipulate.

One thing to keep in mind is that not all the ëasy”Targets. 

Research has shown that a Large number of Narcissist actually enjoy the Challenge of Manipulating those “Hard -Gets” because having accomplished such a task only raises their own Sense of Superiority.

It is difficult to Predict just how a Dark Psychology user Chooses the Victim to enact he`s/her Strategies, but the Observation and Preparation Period when the Practitioner will collect as much Information on the target as Possible before making a Move.

Of course, this is not always the case, Especially in planned Interactions that will take place on a One-Time – Only Basis. But for the Long Term Victim, The Practitioner must prepare carefully and Devise a plan of attack that is Likely to Succeed if Executed Well.

What Dark Psychology cannot Predict is how exactly the Recipient is going to Respond. In Order to keep moving forward with an initial Approach, The Dark Psychology user must be able to pick up on Signals that Broadcast how the Victim is Feeling and which give clues as to what he/she is thinking. 

The Practiced Manipulator will know what to look, for instance of Body Language and other Verbal and Physical clues to Gauge how will he is doing and whether or not he needs to back off and try again later or find a new victim altogether.

The Approach itself is meticulously thought through, and the demeanor and personality of the victim are often take into account during the time when the practitioner is planning it. 

It is essential that the Practitioner approaches in a way that is non threatening and friendly so as not to scare off the Target.

Once the interaction Begins, The Dark Psychology User`s Goal is to Present himself in a way that Seems Effortless and Natural, while Behind the scenes, he has Put great amount of thought and Practice into his Persona.

His Goal throughout this whole initial Interaction is to Gain Rapport and Form some scheme.

He Looks for Positive Micro expressions and other Body Language cues, which will tell him whether or not the victim is comfortable or anxious.

Micro expressions are very brief, telling expressions of the face which are far more subtle than the expressions we usually associate with people being Happy, Sad, or Angry. 

This can Last only a fraction of a Second, Yet if someone is watching closely, he Pickup on the Brief Signal, Which tells him a Little Bit more about how the Subject is Feeling.

Expressions of Worry or discomfort will tell Practitioner that he needs to back off or use a Different tactic, though it might be too Late, and he might need to simply find another Target and Start Over. These signals are numerous and vary widely based on Personality and Context, so let`s look at an Example to Illustrate how a Dark Psychology user might read a Target in order to get clues as to How he should Proceed.

Annie is sitting alone in a park, reading a book. The Manipulator – Let1s call him David – is Nearby, watching and waiting to see if she has other obligations, such as meeting someone., looking after a child, etc..

He want long enough to gather that she is there by herself, simply enjoying the nice day and relaxing with a book. He decides this might be his Perfect Target.

He analyzes her clothes-very conservative, no makeup, with glasses. She didn`t come out here with a lot of concern about dressing up or appearing effortly attractive, though she is cute and doesn1t need to try Hard.

He decides she isn`t completely wrapped up in herself and may not be very friendly, casual encounter that does threaten to alter her day and her plan for it

However, she is also very attentive to her book, and she may be put off by someone interrupting her. Perhaps he should give the approach and, hopeful, the conversation follows a purpose and subject, say, the book she is reading.

Perhaps he will tell her he is a Teacher and appreciates a young Person taking the Time to Read and Enjoy a Good Book,

The Dark Psychology Practitioner goes over his Plan in his head and, when he feels prepared, he will make the approach

Now, it`s all about Reading the Reactions and Behavior’s of the Subject. If Annie responds with a smile and friendly effect, then this gives him a signal that his approach is appropriate and that she is open to a Friendly Conversation.

If she is Short, not bothering to Raise her Eyes from the Book, it might be a signal that she does not want to talk to anyone right now. The Practitioner might move forward with his Plan until he is rebuffed a second time, then back-off.

In the situation where Annie seems amenable to a conversation, he sits down and begins speaking about his vocation, Interest in books etc.. 

As he does this, he is careful to engage her and make eye contact, but not so much Expressions.

Furrowed brows might Signal Discomfort, while a smile that affects the skin around the Eyes is Genuine and signals that she is Enjoying oriented her Body is toward the Speaker, the more Engaged she is.

If she remain Upright and straight to the front or, worse, starts to turn away, it means she is anxious and uneasy about the interaction,

The Practitioner will continue to act alongside these cues until he feels it is the Right time to disengage, but he will do his Best to ” Run into Her ” or, if it feels Right, Ask specifically to meet up with her again Perhaps for a Friendly cup of Coffee.

So, Now in Next Chapter, We will further disscuss Topics Regarding ” Importance of Reading People” 

The Next Topic we will be Discussing is :

READING PEOPLE FROM A POTENTIAL VICTIM`S POINT VIEW

The Definition of the word “Manipulate” is ” To change by artful or unfair means so as to serve ones purpose.”

This Definition Encompasses a Large number of Human Behaviors and Strategies for getting what we want, Especially From other People, and the Topic we will be Discussing has to do with Manipulation when it is Done with Intentional Trickery that is Designed to be Undetected by the Victim.

This is What we call “Dark Psychology“.

Dark psychology is all about the Human Mind and Changing the Conditions of Thought and Emotion in order to get people to do things and think things they would not necessarily have of their own volition.Manipulation can be Accomplished in many different ways, and it is not always accomplished consciously on the part of the user.In other words, people can behave in ways that are conductive to getting what they want from others through manipulation without having any forethought or planning to use manipulative strategies.Manipulation is Tricky, as it is used and practiced everywhere and by everyone, though the intent is not always malicious and the tactics themselves are not always readily identified. For sure, People can be manipulated by an individual who then Disappears after getting what they aimed to get, never to be seen again and without the victim knowing what had happened.Often, a victim only realizes much later or after experiencing manipulation when it is too late or when the Bulk of the Damage has already been done.So what are some of the things that Motivate people Manipulate others?

Goals and Intents of ManipulationThere are certainly too many possible answers to this question to cover all of them here, but there are some general assumptions we can make in order to pinpoint the answer to why a person chooses to use manipulation and other Dark Psychology Techniques.We can reasonably assume that the practitioner chooses manipulation because there doesn`t seem to be another way or that it is the easiest way.Manipulation may be the Last Resort when other, more straightforward tactics fail. But it might also be the tactics of choice for the practitioner simply because he lacks the means or capacity to accomplish his goal by more ethically sound routes.This is the case when we talk about deviant personalities, such as Narcissism.The Narcissist does not have the capacity to commiserate or empathize, or even feel compassion for other Human beings. Therefore, he must put on the mask of someone who shares these traits in order to form relationships that will help him accomplish his Goals.In other instances, a Person of “Normal” capacity for Human Relationships might turn to manipulation because it is an easier way to get what he wants.The user might recognize and even be able to feel the Guilt or Shame that might accompany the use of such Tactics but chooses himself and his Goals above the concern of others and/or his Victims’ well-being, emotional and otherwise.The Goals of People who Practice Manipulation can be simple, complex, or nearly unfathomable to those who would never knowingly cause Harm through the use of Dark Psychology. The Goal might be Financially Focused, or a Position of Power and Influence, or the Practitioner simply wants to Earn Admiration and Rapport with others who are Powerful and Influential.The Goals may be Short-Term, such as coming up with a distraction to a person walking by to Pick something from his Pocket.It can also be Long-Term, such as the Adoption of a complete Alternate Personality in order to Lead a Double Life alongside Another. The amount of Planning and Forethought varies quite a bit as well, depending on many different Factors and Intentions.

Where is Manipulation Used? The unfortunate Truth here is that Manipulation is used nearly anywhere, as long as there are people to manipulate; it’s as simple as that. No Person nor the Environment is Necessarily Safe from such Practice because Manipulation itself is something both innate in all human beings to some degree and easily developed as a Life Skill for those who choose to use Manipulation as Part of their Survival on a Regular Basis. We all use Manipulation to some Degree at some point over the course of our Lives, and this occurs in any Environment where we Interact with other People.The Difference between you and those who Practice Malicious Dark Psychology Tactics is that their Intents are Focused and Amped to the Highest Intensity possible to ensure that they are exercising as much influence as possible to fundamentally change the victim`s mind for a period of time.

Who Uses Manipulation and Dark Psychology?

Those who use Dark Psychology on a deep level and on a Regular Basis are those who are also Successful in presenting to other people a Persona and Demeanor completely different than the one on the inside.
We`ve all heard a story on two about a criminal who was apprehended in a community where the Individual had convinced a lot of people that he was just a kind man or a Regular Joe in Town. These types are often the most successful, most Ruthless, and who has the longest career in Terms of their Criminal or Psychological Intents against Victims. But Dark Psychology is not Limited, as we`ve discussed, to the criminally oriented or those with deviant Personalities. While Manipulation and Dark Psychology can be a way of Life for some, others use it for the sake of a very Specific Goal. For Instance, take the Tragic example of young addict who uses a cycle of Manipulation on his Parents in order to get something he needs to Feed his Habit. Perhaps he disappears for weeks at a Time and only comes Home when he Needs Money. He might Prey on his Parents` Love and Need to Support Him by Playing the Part of a Needy Son who just needs Love and Support to get Better. Just when the Parents are convinced he is on the Right Path, he takes what money he can from them and Leaves to Repeat the Cycle again until he needs more support. This Type of Cycle can Occur in a number of ways and Manifestations. 

Someone addicted to Empathy and Attention from others might make up Ailments or Predicaments in order to feed that Emotional need and Recover only to think of another Ruse when He/She feels Needy Again.

Why is Learning About Manipulation Important?

The Practice and Context of Dark Psychology and Manipulation Range from Simple Motivations to very Complex Long-Term Plans. Some Readers, at this very moment, suspect they may be bending to some form of Dark Psychology in their Lives and Hope to Educate themselves on How to Break these Cycles, while others want to safeguard themselves against the possibility of Dark Psychology being used on them after witnessing the harmful effects of such acts on a loved one.

Contrary to many People`s Protecting yourself against Dark Psychology and Manipulation is not just a matter of being Smart and More Intelligent than the Next Guy. Victims of Manipulation are not just “Too Dumb” to figure out what`s happening to them.

Anyone who experiences emotions and thinks like a Human Being is a Potential Victim, and those who have Experienced such Trauma from a Psychologically Abusive Scam should not feel like they are just Hopelessly less Observant than other people.

There are things you can do to Improve the Chances that you will Recognize and be able to act before these Tactics are Successfully used against you in the Future.

One of the Most Important steps is something you are already doing – Educating yourself on How these People Work and what the Tactics Look Like in the Moments when it counts.

Remember, Guarding yourself against Complex People who might be using Dark Psychology on you is one thing, But it`s Important to Remember that those you Love and Trust have the Most Power when it comes to Inflicting Psychological Harm.

The stranger who wants to use you to some end has the Initial Goal of creating a Relationship or Interaction with you where they Gain your Trust,

But, someone who is already in your Life as a Person you Love has Probably already Accomplished this Goal. 

People who are Initially Trustworthy, Respectful, and Compassionate Individuals do not often switch Gears and become Malicious, but you must Recognize that there might be Key Differences between the core of those whom you choose to have in your Life and those who are Members of your Family or Already Part of your Life in some way.

Sometimes, However, it is up to the Victims themselves to make the Real Change and Remove themselves completely from a situation like this. You cannot Force someone into tearing away from someone with whom they have formed a strong Attachment, and one of the key Tactics of Manipulative Partners is to Sever Ties between the Victim and His/Her Family and Loved ones.

The idea is to make Victim`s whole world Revolve around the Dark Psychology user.

With this in mind, if you suspect that someone you Love is under the Influence of Dark Psychology or Manipulation with Malicious Intent, do not let this Person Tear the Victim away from you if Possible. Remain in their Lives, No matter how much the Abuser has Turned the Victim Against You.

If you Recognize that the Behavior is way out of character, then you can decide that there is some outside influence being Injected, and this is most often accomplished through Lies and Complex Forms of Emotional and Dependency Manipulation.

The Best thing you can do is Remain as Close as Possible to the Victim until He/She is Ready to Realize what`s Happening.

If you Believe Someone you know is in Physical Danger from an Abuser, it is Important that you Notify Authorities and Have Law Enforcement or Protection Agencies Intervene as soon as Possible
