What techniques can I use to manipulate people into doing what I want? For example, how do I make my ex-boyfriend come back to me or how do I get a promotion at work?

Techniques for manipulating people into doing what you want vary greatly depending on the situation. Generally speaking, however, some of the most effective techniques involve appealing to their emotions and sense of self-interest, building a sense of anticipation or urgency around your goal, planting seeds of doubt in their mind about alternatives, creating an impression that you have insider knowledge or privileged information, using body language to create an impression and encouraging your audience to agree incrementally.

While it may seem tempting to use manipulative tactics to get what you want, there are usually better options. It may be helpful to understand what’s motivating your ex-boyfriend or colleagues and have an open conversation about what needs aren't being met. For example, if getting a promotion is important to you, you might consider reaching out to your colleagues for feedback or showing initiative that suggests promotion potential. This will demonstrate willingness and ambition rather than being pushy and manipulative.
