The 5 Secret Ways to Deal With Toxic People and Manipulators That They Don’t Want You to Know
5 Hidden Life Hacks to Deal With the Most Difficult People
Toxic liars and manipulators can be some of the most difficult people to deal with that you will ever encounter.
But here are five ways to deal with them differently that will give you greater success where others have failed.
1. Bend Them to Your Will
Toxic people will always shy away from progress so if you need them to do something, it’s easier to make them want what you want with the reward of an ego boost if they get it done.
The usual way people try to get them to do something is by screaming at them to do it emphatically because they refuse to listen to reason.
If this fails, or they require a quieter approach, they may resort to threats or ultimatums of some sort.
Both approaches are flawed in that the toxic person gets the attention they want before having completed the task.
The best method is to show the toxic person how doing what you want will benefit them (with attention), and emphasise the praise they will get as a reward after the job is done.
