About this listen

Dark psychology means the study of methods used to control or trick others. It often uses psychological rules for harmful, unethical aims. This field explores mental tactics that exploit or dominate people without their knowledge or consent. Manipulation: To shape someone's thoughts, actions or behavior in a subtle or deceitful way. This may include guilt-tripping, flattery or using emotional force. Narcissism: The study of people who see themselves as superior and use others for their own gain.

Psychopathy and Sociopathy: The traits of people who feel no empathy or remorse and behave solely for their own benefit. Gaslighting: A psychological method where a person forces someone to doubt their own reality or perceptions. It is meant to control or disorient. Persuasion Tactics: Methods aimed at changing others' beliefs, attitudes or behaviors. While persuasion itself is not wrong, some tactics — such as fear, guilt or false information — hurt others. Dark psychology has a bad reputation because of its link to trickery and deceit. It also helps reveal ways people can guard against exploitation. This field is interesting yet demands ethical care, as its ideas may be misused.
