Good Day Readers, Today we will continue to Part 2 of the Topic “Acceptable Influence vs Toxic Manipulation“.

So, As we have seen that the answers are different for each of us. Its is for us to take into account the circumstances surrounding the situation.

Play the role of the detective in order to help you dicern whether a situation is reasonably safe or if there is some risk involved. Look for the signs that someone is not completely honest with you during an interaction. We`ve discussed some of the things you may want to watch out for during an Interaction with a stranger, which may give you some clues as to whether the person is genuine or not.

In addition to this, remember to take a step back and be aware of your environment at all times. Are you in a place where it might be easy for someone to catch you off guard? Next time you have to go somewhere for whatever reason at night, consider taking along a friend to ensure safety in numbers.

Never offer your Trust willingly when you are in a situation that feels unsafe or not completely comfortable. Listen to your gut in situations like these where it could be up in the air as to what a stranger`s intentions are for talking to you.

This mindfulness about your surroundings and the circumstances of interaction should extend to online interactions as well. Never give out personal information to someone you`ve never met in person. Do not Trust that everyone you talk to online is exactly who they say they are. A lot of people make use of dating sites and have successfully found partners online, which is a wonderful thing.

However, it might be wise to stick to those most reputable sites if you decide you want to try this route for whatever reason. Signing and Participating in a site that charges a Monthly fee or another kind of Financial commitment helps them weed out and avoid those people who are just trying to get in somewhere to meet someone and manipulate them off and cuff.

Those who take their time with a profile and are willing to pay a fee for the services offered on the dating site are more likely to be genuinely invested in the endeavor.

Also, never agree to meet someone in person for the first time at a private residence or otherwise non-public place. Always assume the worst when it comes to such interactions until you have had a chance to see otherwise.

Make sure that you are meeting at Public Places, and consider taking along a friend if you are feeling especially nervous about meeting around someone for the first time. As an additional test, make sure to pay attention to the information exchanged online, though it shouldn`t be personal information at this stage.

Remember the likes and dislikes and the more mundane things included in the profile so that you can quiz the individual in subtle ways when you meet in person. If the person you are meeting seems to be familiar with the subject matter and recognizes immediately when you mention something from their profile, this is a good sign that they are being Real with you. If you mention these things, but the person seems to struggle to maintain composure and make things up to fill in the gaps, then this could be a Red Flag that the information shared on his Profile or made up Entirely.

You can never be too careful in this arena, so do what you can to stay aware. Make sure you can Trust the person through in-person Interaction.

So, Now in this Topic we have discussed things that can be part of it, but in Next Topic we will see
