How do Manipulators act

This is one article that really bring my interest from DLM. You get manipulated in school, work and in fact anywhere so that they get their things done and take all the credit. I happen to had this experience before and only come to my realization when some helpful soul tipping me on what this person is always doing. It's really pissed when this person is making use of others and others still think he's a great great buddy. Needless to say, peeps need to open their eyes bigger and for me, I got so used to the antics of that guy that I basically just heck-care about it. I think it ain't really nice to make use of your friends to achieve your goals. Well just hope that they can realize that what they see is just a facade. Back to topic, below is a list of how manipulators behave when they want to get their things done.

Manipulators Act Differently Toward You When They Want Something

Watch for sudden changes in the way that a requester (a potential manipulator, someone who wants you to help them for selfish purposes) behaves toward you:

• They compliment you more often (assuming they ever did), particularly with regards to your valuable skills, knowledge and experience.
• You suddenly become this person's “buddy”, “pal” or “friend”. They might use your first or last names more often than normal. The requester smiles at you more often, but the smile never reaches their eyes.
• They seem interested in what you are doing. However, these are often shallow expressions of interest followed by impatience and rapid shift of subject or attention. Manipulators are always looking for opportunities and can be distracted rather easily.
• They seem eager to please you. You'll get the occasional gift or freebie from a manipulator. Just remember that a manipulator is too smart or cheap to invest a lot of money in you at this point, so they probably didn't pay for the gifts.
• The requester makes public expressions of support and need for you. Can you say “flattery”?

This positive behavior ceases after you are no longer needed or useful. If they are looking for long term help from you, the good times may roll on for some time.
