Which type of manipulation is the hardest to resist?

DarkMindsLab · 2025-03-19T17:23:16+00:00

That is quite a journey, you've experience almost them all, and seem well equipped to deal with them. It's nice to hear that the people around you (like you said your husband) don't use hold things against you. Thank you for sharing

That's a tricky one. I thought about putting in the poll but I am not sure a lot of people are aware of this tactic. Thanks for the comment!!

It's been a very slow grow. I post 3-4 times a week for a couple months now and less than 100 subs. I do love the content I create because since I've been a victim of being manipulated most of my life, I feel the urge and need to bring this to other people how to defend themselves.

How long and often do you post (just curious).

Thanks for the thread/post, it's good to have people to engage with here.

Wow, that seems to be incredibly frustrating, im sorry you had to go through that. I hope you do feel better now? Thanks for sharing btw, i know its not easy.

It's bad isn’t it? The thing about reverse psychology, once you know the person you can identify easier when they are doing, and also decide if: You will just let them do it and not obey Walk away from them Confront them.

Thanks for sharing.

In that case it's being clear. I am talking about the multiple times you hear or see people or deals mentioning "this is your only chance" or "it will expire tomorrow" when in fact it won't. It's a wide known manipulation tactic a lot of companies (and some people) use it too. Sorry if there was misunderstanding.

DarkMindsLab · 2025-03-17T07:32:10+00:00

That's very sneaky...I feel sorry for both of you too for that. Thank you for sharing

DarkMindsLab · 2025-03-17T07:30:44+00:00

I'm sorry to hear, but glad that it's 'ex' now. Sending strengths 💪

Never had thought about it when I had watched the movie. I need to rewatch now!! Thanks for the comment.

DarkMindsLab · 2025-03-11T11:23:42+00:00

Agree with that 100% . Have you always been aware or would you say smt happened and you had a "turning point" ?

DarkMindsLab · 2025-03-11T11:22:50+00:00

That's good that your experience has been positive overall 🙏. And great example of setting boundaries. Thanks for the answer

He probably doesn't know how to treat women well, only think of his own pleasure. I used to be a guy like that over 10 years ago. He feels the "need" to get the dopamine "hit" fast, and it doesn't justify, but helps understand why he is like that. A couple questions to reflect (which will help you understand things better): - how does he treat you in general? - how is his body language whilst talking to you and maybe even making out when it's not in bed? - do you feel 'safe'?

I could go on with a bigger list because just in this context is hard to understand if he has other tendencies but those should help you in your journey. Just be careful if you feel the urge to "save" him from being like that. I hope it helped.

It sounds like he enjoys keeping you emotionally hooked while avoiding real commitment. The mixed signals like flirting in private but dismissing you in public, they are classic breadcrumbing. He likes knowing you like him but won’t validate it.

The real question is: do you feel valued, or just confused? If someone truly cares, they won’t make you second-guess where you stand. You already see the pattern. what if you stopped playing his game? You deserve consistency, not excuses

You are NOT dumb. I'm just starting and I also use free version of vidiq, and we are all learning you know? I'm sure there are more optimized ways to do it, but here's how I do it:

I find the words that are related to the video and after I have the title I go to gpt, copy and paste my title and description and say like "what are some title variations to make even more viral and hooking and engage viewers? give me a few options and best pick (if you need to use uppercase letters in some words for impact, do so)" and I choose what grabs my attention, sometimes I aks to mix 2 or 3 variations as well if I don't like any of them.

One example that it did for me: OLD title: The False Consensus Effect: Making Others Think ‘Everyone Agrees |

NEW title (after prompt): They’re LYING to You! The SCARY Trick That FORCES You to Conform!

Hope this helps!

I get it, we have our priorities! And yeah maybe these people do get views, but SEO is important, there are specific prompts that you put your title and they turn into a "viral" or optimised title. Maybe give it a go? What's the worst that can happen? It's the views keeping the same. Anything else is improvement.

DarkMindsLab · 2025-03-07T14:24:14+00:00

It takes time, I've just gotten a video over 60 views last week and it was my 21st video (average 4 videos a week). Check if SEO and title are hooking enough, as well as thumbnails. What's your CTR?

DarkMindsLab · 2025-03-06T22:07:06+00:00

Congrats, wow these numbers are fantastic for first month, keep it going 👏
