Beware of emotional manipulators.

They can be your loved and cherished ones.

Do NOT trust anyone but yourself.

Here is why.

-Thread-
Example of professional emotional manipulators:

-Politicians
-Marketers
-Copywriters

Those people get paid to control your emotions and trigger subconscious reactions.

Their actions aim to weaken you and force you to take emotionally driven decisions.
Understand that there are people out there, that can predict your emotional reactions

They are either sociopaths/psychopaths or simply manipulative by default

They can predict your emotions and can control you by simply using the right words or non-verbal communication
Resistance to external influence is a skill.

Like any skill, it takes practice and understanding of how it works.

Developing resistance to external influence doesn't come overnight.

It is a long and tiring process of unlearning and critical thinking development.
Emotional manipulators spot your weaknesses and insecurities.

They take the time to analyze your behavior and conclude which emotional triggers make you lose your capacity of discernment.

They will say and do stuff that your emotions will hinder you from seeing.
Whether it is fear, joy or empathy

Your emotional state makes you in a position where rationality and logic become a difficult approach to take.

This is why it is important to develop:

-Stoicism
-Critical thinking
-Skepticism
Information that comes from outside is to always be analyzed.

No one discloses information without background thoughts and intentions.

THAT is what you need to put your finger on:

WHY AM I GETTING THIS PARTICULAR INFORMATION? https://twitter.com/EgoDriv/status/1344251939400380416
Learn to recognize your own emotions.

Learn to listen to your brain when it tells you that it is losing control.

Learn to deafen your emotionally triggered thoughts.

Do not let any piece of information take space in your head without your RATIONAL consent.
Develop the ability to read people's intention.

Learn to be "external influence-proof".

Listen to yourself and not to others.

Once again I'll tell you this:

You are your ONLY truth.

YOU make EVERYTHING happen.

Stay in control.

Of everything.
Of everyone.
Of yourself.
