It might sound difficult, but can be done easily once (and if you want to) train yourself into it.

You might already do it, or have heard of it before, though just for the record...

If the behaviour of any person or group does not line up with what they are saying - they have ulterior motives and are a manipulator.

Ulterior motives are running in that person or group, and they are working well to conceal them with words, but the behaviour is doing the opposite, it does not and cannot match.

No feeling sorry for anyone when the emotional manipulation begins, as it often does. Trust what you observe and get yourself out of the line of manipulation that ensues.

Words are words, behaviour is an entirely different thing.

A strong need to manipulate always produces a liar because of what you have read above.

Manipulators can only say that they are or do something, but when it comes down to it, the reality they posit is just not there.

Take good care !
