A human manipulator will force you to do almost anything - give your money, steal, hurt others - and that's not the end of the list. A human manipulator can really make a big difference in your life. Keep reading to learn how to deal with this type of person.
Steps
1 Do your best to protect yourself and other people involved in the conflict from the influence of the manipulator. There is nothing you can do with that person or with people who fall for such games, but you can protect yourself and others. 
2 Distance yourself from this person. Since you need to repulse this person gently enough, continue to defend yourself by establishing some distance between yourself and the manipulator. 
3 Try not to create a scandal. If the manipulator notices the increasing distance between you, talk to him or her about their manipulative qualities. Remain calm and cool in conversation, whether or not they respond in kind. The dramatic intensity will only make things harder for you. If they love drama, let them wallow in it themselves. 
4 Be aware that you may need to actively end the connection with this person. It doesn't just mean to establish distance between the two of you, but to completely end contact. While this can be a daunting task, it will be better for you and the manipulator in the end. 
5 At the same time, things can eventually get better. People often outgrow this over time. Be ready for harmony when and if it appears.
Tips
- Sometimes the words "goodbye" or "I don't have time" are the only things you can say to such a person. Be unshakable.
- Keep calm. Driving yourself into hysterics and screaming will not help much.
- If you are being manipulated at work. The only thing you can do is go over their head. Don't be afraid to get fired. Depending on the profession, companies received lawsuits for the dismissal of victims.
Warnings
- Develop a strong, strong allergy to drama. Do not let your feet dry, but do not succumb to provocations that make you behave badly or irrationally. Manipulators use these things to look their best against your background.
- Don't become a human manipulator yourself. While some can get away with it, it may be different with you. You have to be able to look in the mirror and sleep well at night, and you cannot do that if you act contrary to your beliefs. If you understand that manipulation is bad when it comes to others, you will feel just as bad doing it.
