popular enough to make you feel a desire to be part of their
                              crowd, and they love feeling in control by making you work hard

                              to earn their approval. They know that keeping you in this state
                              allows them to get away with more “favors” since you’ll be more
                              than willing to do what they want just to feel accepted. Don’t
                              allow yourself to be subjected to their manipulative ways any
                              longer, if they can’t accept you for who you are, don’t worry

                              there’s plenty of other people who will. Anytime you have to
                              work too hard to feel accepted means you’re working hard for
                              the wrong kind of people.



                              Turn the Tables - Manipulators will constantly try to work
                              against you. They’ll befriend your friends, and then try to turn

                              them against you. They’ll convince you to do most of the work,
                              and then take equal or more credit for behind your back. They’ll
                              entice you with the same reward and watch as you continuously
                              try to chase it. They’ll remember all your past mistakes and

                              never miss an opportunity to make you feel bad about it. If the
                              manipulator you’re trying to rid yourself of continues to work
                              even harder to make your life a living nightmare, you need to
                              turn the tables on them and strike back. Find what’s giving them

                              their support, and then weaken it so the manipulator no longer
                              has a strong enough foothold. This support could be their
                              followers, supporters, subordinates, a skill that they have or
                              some resource that they might be in control of. Befriend their

                              supports and make them your allies. Make connections with
                              others who have a similar skill so the manipulator is not the only
                              one who is in control. Turning the tables on them and weakening
                              the hold that they have will end of throwing them off balance so

                              they no longer focus on trying to dominate your life, but focus
                              instead on trying to reclaim their position in their own circle.



                              Don’t Compromise - Compromising your own morals and
                              values is one of the many big mistakes you could make when
