Personal self-defense against the robot

Become confident

There are two forms of personal self-defense. Physical self-defense and psychological self-defense. The first part of this series examines the social and psychological aspects of self-defense. The second part will be a continuation of the first part, but here we will study the development of feasible steps. Developing personal self-defense against the operator requires a keen confidence. When you are confident, it automatically releases the operator's control over your thoughts and decisions.

As mentioned earlier, many cult leaders use many strategies [discussed in Part 1] to solicit new followers and may cause economic and physical harm to you and your family. Here are some actionable steps you can take to fight against those who are trying to manipulate you.

Tell them that you feel pressure.

Tell them that you feel stressed and you don't want to do something. When your subconscious tells you that something is wrong, listen and say it. The sooner you say, the better. In this way it will not deteriorate and develop into a more important issue. Remember, you have the right not to do whatever you want to do.

ask questions

Ask a series of exploratory questions. Asking questions may keep the operator alert and give you time to reorganize your thoughts and actions. Consider using some of the following questions as a guide to probing:

One. What can I get from it?
Does the thing you want in the bay sounds fair?
C. Do I have a say in this?
d. Are you asking me or telling me?
Does this seem reasonable?

Refuse request

If someone approaches you to do something you don't want to do, don't do it. At first, this may seem complicated, but becoming confident at this point may save your life. Moreover, when you say "no", the operator may be surprised and retreat.

Don't keep trying to change your mind

When someone doesn't get information that you are not interested in, please say no, then walk away. You have the right to your own actions, thoughts and feelings, and have the right to provide any reason or excuse for defending your actions. You have the right to change your mind and provide no explanation. You have the right to say "no" without feeling embarrassed.

Face people

Facing the manipulator in a private environment. The public environment may let followers oppose you, or worse, alienate your group mentality. You may then feel obligated and reluctantly comply with the requirements. When you express your thoughts, it shows that you are not easily convinced, and may not be worth the effort. Also, be aware that this person may not want to continue friendship. Don't feel guilty because you have the right to have independent ideas and become judges of your own actions.

Don't compliment

Flattery is an excellent tool for the operator. They use your own self-awareness to deal with you. When someone praises you, especially if you have not done anything you deserve, please question their intentions. It can easily become a victim of flattery, but it is one of the best tools that a manipulator can use to control your thoughts and actions.

Simply avoid manipulating people

You have the right to choose your own friends. If someone makes you feel manipulated, don't have them in your life. Avoiding someone doesn't necessarily mean you need to end friendship, it just means more control over the situations and situations you encounter.
