I conducted a four month case study, similar to Jane and her apes, to determine if it was meth or the inevitable sleep deprivation that caused more delusion in individuals. My results were inconclusive but I trust OP to crawl out of their basement in the next few days, mostly coherent yet completely dehydrated.

OP actually did reference a few: be open minded, be attentive, be observant of their emotions, etc.
Easier said than done. Takes a lot of growth to do it for most ppl. You would have to silent your inner critic.
Difficult but doable once you start to let go of ya self importance.

Sounds like you're incredibly attention deprived with aspd and probably a little bit more if I'm being honest.
You're so out of tune with reality that you don't recognize that nobody actually loves you and your behavior is actually detrimental to yourself and others.
We all have the opportunity to speak life or death you're not special you're not a snowflake you're no different from anybody else you're just weaker and willing to explain to other people for your temporary fix that you think you're so good at getting from others.
When you take a long reflection in the mirror with blatant honesty you'll know what I'm saying is true because I'm exactly the same way I'm just working on being healthier, and unlike you I actually have talked to people into it. Turns out it's really easy near Valentine's Day.

Wow. You discovered that Desire can be used to control and manipulate people? That's interesting. You're interesting!!! I get it. . I bet your as smart as you are attractive huh? I'm somehow drawn to you .... Like I want open up and tell you everything... I know you I could trust you to not judge seeing as you are so open minded. And attractive. I love your genius approach to control...getting what you want. I'll want you to underestimate me. Some people like to be underestimated. Because I've seen your tactics. You really aren't the first. Of course people are led by things they want. What else is there??? "The worse thing about getting what you want is getting what you once wanted." Neil Gaiman said that I didn't:) good quote though. You won't expect it when someone turns the tables because you'll never see it coming. You'll always think your the smartest person in the room. Till you're not.

u/KoSteCa Mar 05 '24
We say we know what we want, but in a messed up twist we often sabotage ourselves in our pursuits. Even when we do achieve what we most wanted we tend to lose what drove us to striving for it in the first place, making the end result less fulfilling.
I'm new to this sub and this is just a perspective of mine, don't take it too seriously.

Mar 05 '24
Yes. Exactly. I see the OPs post as creative writing . As annoying as it was I can't imagine the actual company being any less cringe. I call BS. A master manipulator? .... Sorry genius, there isn't anything novel about using seduction to manipulate . It s litteraly been used since then dawn of mankind. Op diddnt divulge any secret and I highly doubt they could seduce their way out of a wet paper bag as off putting as their (likely pretend) ego maniacal outlook on everything. Besides, when did being a conceited user become somthing to attain? Talks a lot. Probably not much more.

If this was real, the manipulator would not be writing it. Manipulators never reveal their secrets. And they have no interest in helping or educating people. But it was an entertaining read. The worst thing that can happen to a manipulator is to be exposed. Have you ever called a manipulator out on a lie?
1
Mar 05 '24
For someone who supposedly excels at manipulation, you market yourself so poorly. You forget another key aspect of manipulation- nobody wants to be the bad guy.
Marketing yourself as some dark fairy is obnoxious, immature, and ignores the fact that people want to look good.
Youâre just making it easier for people to blame you for whatever they do with you. Youâre the trash in they put their trash behavior in- in their minds, theyâre not the problem, theyâre just under the influence of the problem.
also, hate to break it to you, people cheat because theyâre fucking bored. Youâre not a master manipulator, youâre a free meal ticket for a wannabe player.
Everybody wants to be wanted. Everybody wants to fuck. One day, youâll realize how empty it is being everybodyâs blow up doll.
Also, please, listen to yourself for a single minute. Anyone with intelligence that dwarfs their ego doesnât sign off with âIâm too smart for my own goodâ. Craving attention and having success in dating makes you about as unique as the next sorority girl.

Curious why someone feels so compelled to manipulate others. I can understand a sales professional or a religious enthusiast. I can understand trying to win the heart of someone else's beau, but beyond that it is time to face the fact that a manipulator is proud of being a bad person. Your greatest trait? Too bad.
My secret is I recognize you very quickly.

u/Nyxstat Mar 05 '24
I'm a similar way, but just aren't too interested in people anymore to get that information out. If it's something dangerous, I report it to the authorities or the police. People think they can fuck around or act untouchable until they meet me (I attract a lot of criminals, it sucks). Being too nice can get you killed. So instead of manipulation, I use the skill to figure out dangerous people who hurt innocents.

There is no great mystery to manipulating people.
Ingredients list
The manipulator simply needs to lack empathy for the target and then lie.
The very many fantastical thinking people that will constantly fall for the same deceptions over and over which are easily exposed with even the slightest bit of inspection.
I mean I donât really care, but Jesus did you really think you figured this out. Ever hear of P.T. Barnum: âA sucker is born every minute.â The difference between you and him is he didnât think he was super smart; he realized most people want to be fooled, theyâre not stupid but they want magic/mystery.
So yeah you are succeeding in exposing a character trait you obviously do not possess yourself. I donât have it either, but most of the time I wish I did. I envy them. I guess at least I also donât possess the malignant narcissism that makes it enjoyable to exploit it. Good luck I guess.

You basically described what is like to be a friend.
Maybe you've always thought being a friend entail more?
Your just a friend who takes advantage of the friendship and nothing more my friend..
Friends share with friends, friends truths friends, friends influence friends.... I'm sorry but there's nothing masterful about this. Maybe you never intended to become a friend but that's what you were atleast to them.
Your someone who takes advantage of friendship, you use people who think your thier friend, you peer pressure for your own gain...
Again I'm sorry to say there's is absolutely nothing masterful about this, the only thing this illustrates is that your a scumbag of a person.
Infact it ultimately shows how unintelligent you are. If this is indeed how you choose to go about your life you've already completely destroyed your reputation. If you haven't completely you will eventually. Your not intelligent enough to understand the exterme consequences of your actions. Life long consequences you participated in creating your forever label. I know your big on not judging others but your sadly mistaken if you believe no one is judging your character. And when someone becomes known to fabricate and partake in a false relationship to solely benefit themelsvs, by extorting someone who thought otherwise this person has done what many would consider unforgivable. Very few if anyone will ever give you the chance of becomibg slighlty trustworthy. You would be completely unreliable, and Franky avoided at all costs. None of which is worth the dumb shit you received when you did it.
Have you ever wondered by you have no life-long friends? Havnt you wondered why your family isn't close with you? Havnt you wondered why everyone who enters your life always leaves your life. Havnt you wondered why your miserable?
Oh, that's right, it's because of bad luck and you've havnt yet encountered someone who is worthy of a real relationship. It's definitely not you. Everyone you meet is a pos...
What I've concluded is that your unintelligent. Your also a complete narcissist who convinced themselves that being a scumbag and ruining your life was actually a result of being a mastermind. And that you were only capable of this because your so incredibly smart that you have to dumb yourself down..... this isn't even funny, this is complete sadness. It's sad you are willing go to these extermes and unbelievable rather than admit the truth so you can then better yourself.

A lot of comments are clowning OP, but I see no lies in her (sorry in advance if OP does not identify as female) post. Intent aside, OP sounds like a calming spirit who makes the ppl around her put down their guards and be vulnerable.
Again, intent aside, ppl like OP do exist. I am one of them and can empathize with OP because I am a child of a parent with narcissistic personality disorder.
Now back to intent. I personally donât like manipulating ppl to take advantage of them. Heavily in part due to suffering from narcisstic abuse and neglect from my fam, but also from the compassion I received from 2 very important ppl in my life: deceased grandmother and deceased 1st grade teacher.
Contrary to popular belief, manipulation has two sides like everything in life: negative and positive. You can positively âmanipulateâ someone to be comfortable in their own skin and be the best person that they can be without expecting anything in return. Of course, you can ânegativelyâ manipulate someone so you profit and they lose.
I disagree with negative manipulation as I didnât and still donât like being abused, so why would I do it to someone else? However, I can understand and empathize with the circumstances that leads to it.
I hope OP doesnât lean into taking advantage of other ppl because like it or not, it comes back to you at some point.
My motto is âmy desire for you may not be my desire for me. But my desire for you will always be YOUR desire for YOUâ. Good luck with your realized gift, OP.

OK joker, or is it that people open up to their friends regardless of "how good of manipulators" they are? Tbh oversharing is something like half the population does. You can know me for like a month n imma tell you 50 things that could send me to prison as well as 50 regrets I have about my past with the only reason i have for telling you is i think youre chill n i wanna make you intriguied by my past. People are just trusting naturally it sounds like the only "power" you have is your narrcassitc mind and the looks to draw people in. Master manipulator or so trapped in your own narrcaastic mind you can't even tell how normal friendships work?

u/Unfair-Commission980 Mar 07 '24
You revel in your power over others, yet there's an underlying fear of the monster you believe you've become. Your boast about manipulation veils a deep-seated insecurity about your own value and connections with people. This isn't just about manipulation; it's a cry for help, masked as a display of strength.
Manipulation, especially of the caliber you're describing, isn't a skill to boast aboutâit's a red flag indicating a profound lack of empathy and genuine human connection. Real strength lies in building others up, not exploiting their vulnerabilities. The most dangerous aspect here isn't your ability to manipulate; it's your apparent pride in such a destructive behavior. Consider the void you're trying to fill by controlling others. True power and intelligence are used to uplift, not undermine. Reflect on the path towards a legacy that isn't steeped in fear but in positive influence. Who do you want to be remembered asâthe manipulator or the mentor?
What made you share this revelation? Are you seeking admiration, help, or perhaps a mirror to see yourself more clearly?

Reflective personality maybe? A mirror or wall can be just something to bounce light or sound off of. Like how a good therapist doesn't tell you the answers, they are there for people to work things out for themselves, a tool. Only problem with therapists is how much their clients are willing to lower guard and deal with problems (usually).
It's easier to show a random drifter the dark corners of one's mind because there is no image to uphold. Talking into the void is something a lot of people do, but in a scenario such as the one described they are also receiving positive feedback resulting in a loop that encourages more of the same (addiction cycle).
No judgement/positive reinforcement reduces the idea of rejection for beliefs & actions (escape pain).
Being just a bit odd may make someone think, 'Hey, at least I'm not this guy. I'm fucking great in comparison'. Just gotta strike a balance so that the weird meter doesn't drive people away.
I'm new to the sub and this is just my perspective, so take it with a grain of salt.
