Results: Manipulation Techniques
1.
1.
Manipulators use several techniques to use and abuse people. FYI for those who are not interested in learning about this, I have included the N/A option in every question so you can scroll down, hit N/A, and collect your points quickly. One technique they use is called "Gaslighting". This can be described in different variations of three words: "That didn't happen", "You imagined it", or "Are you crazy?" The intent is to distort a person's sense of reality. Have you seen this used in real life? Yes, on me personally

Here's another one: "Projection". This is a defense mechanism used to displace responsibility of one's own negative behaviour/traits by attributing them to someone else. Have you seen this used in real life? Yes, on me personally

How about "Moving the goal posts"? This is when someone has every reason to be perpetually dissatisfied with you. Even after you provide all the evidence to validate your argument, they have another expectation or demand. Have you seen this used in real life? Yes, on me personally

Last one: "Triangulation". This is when someone tries to distract you from their nastiness by focusing your attention on the supposed threat of another person. Have you seen this used in real life? Yes, on me personally
