How to Deal With Manipulative People was created based on a listener request. If you're on this channel, there's a good chance your life has been turned upside down by a narcissist, abusive person, and/or manipulative person or people. This video discusses the differences between narcissists and manipulative people, where they overlap, and why its important to distinguish.
While certain types of minor manipulation can be harmless, more extreme, sustained, and deceptive forms of manipulation are abusive. It's important to know the characteristics of manipulative people, games manipulative people play with you, strategies to identify manipulators and their tactics, and ways to avoid and deal with manipulation. Knowing what to look for is the first step in protecting yourself against this insidious behavior.

Season 1 Episode 7: Narcissistic Abuse and Its Impact: What Does It Mean to Me? is one of the podcast episodes from last season I mentioned in the video when discussing narcissistic abuse. This video is a good intro to the topic.
Season 2: Episodes Six, Seven, Eight, and Nine: Series on Narcissistic Abuse go more in depth on the topic. Simply scroll down the page where you can find these episodes.
How to Deal With a Manipulative Personality by Aashish Nanda is one of my sources of information that I mentioned in the video. The writing style is a bit rough, but the content and visuals are good.
A Handy Guide to Dealing With Manipulative People by Victoria Brewood in Thrive Global is another source for this video and is mentioned in the talk. It also gives specific strategies for identifying and protecting yourself against manipulative people.
