manipulators, remembering these rights will help you steel your

determination to fight off their attacks. Remember that you are responsible

for your own life and your happiness, and those two things should never be

put in the hands of someone else, especially if that person happens to be a

manipulator.

The next steps that need to be taken to manage the manipulators in your life

are:

To Stay Away From Them - It is the only way to minimize the
influence they have over you. If they’re not your immediate

family members, consider staying away from them entirely, even
cutting ties with them if you can because unless they change
their ways, it is unlikely the relationship is ever going to do you
any food. If the manipulators are your family members, you may

not be able to cut ties with them entirely, but you can minimize
the contact time that you get with them. Avoid spending any
alone time with them, keep yourself “too busy” to have a
conversation for too long and be prudent with how much time

you allow yourself to spend with them. Don’t forget about your
fundamental rights.

To Start Defending Yourself Against Their Bullying - Some
manipulators will resort to bullying if they know their targets are
weaker than they are. Manipulators whose personalities fall

within those of the Dark Triad might even take pleasure from
trying to scar their victims mentally and emotionally, relishing in
the power that they feel when they know they have struck fear in
the hearts of others. Defend yourself against their intimidation by

remembering that the manipulator is clinging to what they
believe are your weaknesses. If you give into what they want and
play their game, you’re reinforcing their belief that they’re right.
