In life, friendships and relationships, we all manipulate other people in some way, in fact, it is impossible not to manipulate another when having a social interaction. Most manipulations can benefit the other person and could otherwise be considered an influence on the conversation. Giving a compliment or helping someone find the answer to a question are some examples of manipulation or influence.

When a social interaction is pleasurable for the other person involved, both parties are in harmony and the conversation is pleasurable, but when one or more people in the interaction want to control one person, the conversation or interaction can become a threat to the target. . This is known as the dominant manipulation effect and will aim to create a sense of vulnerability in the “target” of the attack. The main reason for this is that the dominant manipulator will feel vulnerable and is trying to feel more secure by controlling others.

It is a well known fact that many people do not like confrontation and will take many actions to avoid it if they can; This avoidance of confrontation is the main power that the dominant bully or manipulator will use to gain power over their target and then gradually build pressure in very subtle ways. This is how most dominant manipulators will generally gain power.

If we want to see how confident the DM (dominant manipulator) feels about their attack, it’s important that we watch how they react and respond during its execution. Once the attack has been made, if they give the impression of a “sigh of relief” if the target “backs off”, it’s safe to say that they now feel safer and more protected by their method of control. If this is a learned behavior that they have, there is probably a high probability that they will use it on many people, in many cases without even realizing it, after all, a bully usually feels very vulnerable.

So, going back to the title of this article, when will a DM become the most dangerous? The answer is hidden in the last paragraph where you feel most secure when you are in control, if you feel like you are losing control you will start to feel vulnerable and the quickest way you will feel like you are losing control is when you no longer have power over your target because his target loses the fear of the attack and stops acting so afraid.

When a DM feels that he is losing his power, his red alert alarm will go off, as this in his mind could leave him open to attack or rejection (or so he fears) and it is at this point that he could become his greatest. part. dangerous. If their goal is to regain control, many attackers will simply be in the attitude of raising the stakes or trying more powerful methods until the target backs off. When in a situation where a DM becomes more aggressive or more manipulative, it is a sign that he is losing his power, although if the dominant manipulator is acting dangerously, nothing seems further from the truth. The games they can use when trying to get the power back can be lengthy and very confusing to the target, but it is essential that the target is continually aware that the increase in intensity is an attempt to intimidate the target into backing off.

Abuse can come in many forms and should not be taken lightly in any situation and there are many things to be aware of, this is just one area but a very powerful one and should be practiced regularly.
