If you think rude and disrespectful people are more toxic wait until you meet a soft spoken manipulator!
A soft spoken Manipulator Behavior :
Soft spoken manipulator behaviour refers to when a person uses gentle polite and courteous tone to control others. These individuals usually don't impose their will directly instead they use a soft spoken technique to manipulate.
Characteristics of Their Behavior:
1. Exerting pressure under the guise of politeness and gentleness:
They speak in a manner that appears harmless and friendly, but in reality, they aim to steer others’ opinions or decisions according to their own desires.
2. Exploiting others’ emotions:
They manipulate others by playing on their guilt or empathy, compelling them to make decisions in their favor.
3. Pretending not to exert pressure:
They conduct conversations in a way that makes it seem like they are not imposing any pressure, yet their ultimate goal is to influence the other person.
4. Using excessive praise or flattery:
They often shower others with exaggerated compliments or sweet words to gain trust and then exploit that trust for their own benefit.
5. Making ambiguous statements:
They speak in a way that hides a deeper meaning, which is not immediately apparent but is intended to subtly manipulate the listener.
This type of behavior is dangerous because it often influences people without them realizing it.
How soft-spoken manipulators provoke us:
Soft-spoken manipulators subtly provoke our emotions without openly displaying anger. They use several strategies to create irritation and discomfort, such as:
1. Indirect or vague sarcasm:
They make comments that aren’t direct insults but carry a hidden sarcastic or hurtful tone. This leaves us feeling irritated or hurt, but it becomes difficult to respond immediately.
2. Inducing guilt:
They say some kind of things to make us guilty and compelling us to act in their favour, even if we don't want to do that.
3. Exploiting sympathy:
They manipulate our emotions and sympathy by portraying themselves as weak or harmless, leading us to comply out of empathy.
4. Feigning neutrality:
They pretend to be neutral and non-imposing, but their true intent is to subtly influence us in their desired direction.
5. Provoking and remaining silent:
They often make provocative remarks and then remain silent, forcing us to react emotionally. This allows them to appear calm while making us seem unreasonable.
Outcome:
These strategies provoke anger, guilt, and confusion, making us emotionally vulnerable. They appear calm and harmless, but they use our reactions to their advantage.
How to resist them:
Stay calm and take much time to think and analyze them and their words. Also avoid reacting emotionally try to think deeply. Respond with clarity and confidence, ensuring that your emotions remain under control.
