How do you manipulate people?

bedtime now ...

I don't.

Being able to easily manipulate people is seen as a characteristic of psychopathy.

I manipulate people by acting hungry for something they have when insidiously I am making them want something from me.

Start with asking seemingly meaningless favours and expand that to the point they feel involved in your affairs and therefore guilty of any wrongdoing, they'll then do anything one may ask in order to resolve it, which furthers the cause for oneself. This theorem is employed by Derren Brown in his recent social experiment 'Push' C4. Oh and I didn't mention it, but, obviously don't actually involve them in your affairs, just make it seem so, you wouldn't want to be vulnerable yourself.

O.O

My impression is you have to get people to make judgements based on their emotions rather than logic

You have to play with their desires to either be loved, to feel morally superior etc.
If you can make someone show mercy to you, that enables you to walk right over them.

I don't know how you people manipulate others. Can anyone give me some insight.

I seem to do it without even thinking about it - I have to make a conscious effort to not manipulate people

I feel you. How do you find you tend to do it?

You've now changed to being hungry? What happened to your thirsty phase?

Idg why you want to manipulate people

I can be subconsciously very manipulative and I don't realise I have been until afterwards. I know how to get what I want and how to press people's buttons. My head of sixth form even said to me before I dropped out "do you find it easy to persuade people to do what you want?"
