Manipulation and persuasion are everywhere. The forces of manipulation are present in the larger sense - in television, emanating from governmental organizations, and other media. Manipulation also happens on an interpersonal level. These are the different gradations of dark psychology.
Dark psychology comes from a reaction to the past 50 years of positive psychology (approximately).
Dark psychology offers a more realistic and pragmatic solution to protecting yourself in the world. If you do not have a firm grasp on your own psyche, though, you will be subject to manipulation from sources other than yourself in the world.
By learning some of the principles of dark psychology, you make yourself immune to the manipulation that you might be subjected to. The best offense is a good defense, right? By learning some of the principles of dark psychology, you will be able to identify instances when they are being used against you, and you can protect yourself from these forces.
Covert emotional manipulation happens in a variety of ways. It could be a spurned lover who spins a tale to you about how they want you back. It could be a fake charity posting pictures of children who are never actually going to get your money. It could be a family member or friend who is getting you to do something for them. By judging body posture, evaluating motives, and using other techniques, you can analyze the trustworthiness of these actors and what they want you to do.
It's not all about defense. By learning these principles, you can become more persuasive yourself. You can start to be more assertive and confident in everyday situations because you have learned how to identify those around you who might not be acting in your best interest.
