a read from the field of psychology

I found a page on internet, which seems to be practical and informative.

I have not read the book 'In sheep's clothing' as mentioned in this article and cannot recommend it at this point of time. However, the excerpt from the book contains some important pointers to judge manipulative behaviour.

Some words of caution:
1. Some of the behavioural patterns mentioned above could be due to serious problems or concerns. We could go drastically wrong in some situations if we blindly start suspecting others. Our thought process should be applied and trusted above all to make any conclusions. However, being aware that manipulation is possible may be helpful.

2. It needs a very stable thinking process to do much reading on psychological subjects and not try those in practical scenarios, often with mistakes. I would warn young readers to please be careful.

रिश्ते मन से होते हैं

रिश्ते मन से होते हैं , ये आत्मा के होते है ।  रिश्ते मन में सोते हैं , ये भावनात्मक होते है । ।  न मिले ज्यादा, न खूब बातें हुई , फिर भी दुःख में उनके, नम आँखें हुई ।  समय नहीं बिताया था, कई साल से , फिर भी दिखा अपनापन, हर बात में । ।  मुस्कुरा के किया था अभिवादन, उन्होंने कभी , उस अपनत्व में मिली थी मिठास बड़ी ।  समझा नहीं कभी, गहरा था ये रिश्ता भी , क़द्र अब आयी, उनके उस पाक रिश्ते की । ।  जब उनके न रहने की खबर, हमें  थी मिली , दिल से एक टीस भरी आवाज़ यह निकली ।  चेहरा दीखता रहा बारम्बार, वह अच्छा भला , काश! जिया होता हमने, कुछऔर साथ तेरा । ।  कि रिश्ते मन में रहते हैं , ये भावना में बहते हैं ।  लेन-देन, व्यव्हार नहीं , ये अनुभव के होते है  । ।  गहरे अनुभव में होते हैं , रिश्ते मन से होते हैं ....

Tire it Forward ...

Source Anonymous One of my friends, let's call him Jose, is one of those guys who doesn't even need to say anything and people will just feel comfortable in his presence. He is an amazingly compassionate guy, who will flat out tell you that his purpose in life is to bring more beauty on this planet. No, if's, and's, but's ... clear and simple, unwavering in his life mission. He doesn't need to convince anyone and he can't be swayed from it by anyone else. It's a funny story about how he learned his initial lesson of compassion. In high school, he was madly in love with his sweet heart for many years. He would do anything for her and she was the important thing for him. Until ... she left him oneday (perhaps she cheated on him before that). It hit him like a bucket of cold water. Never before had he encountered such a loss and he didn't know what to do. Roaming aimlessly through life, doing his...

They know it all

We are all potential liars , pretentious characters ; even the most truthful ones among us. This is because we are trying to hide our true feelings, our true thoughts and present them to the world in a way they would like to see or the way we would like them to understand. This is true for almost all of us, though the level of pretension and presentation may differ enormously from person to person. When we present our created truth to others, successfully, it feels good about being able to fool them into believing it. This works fine in some cases and people do believe what is presented to them. This may be a case when we are dealing with either strangers, ignorant or dumb people. However, with other people it just doesn't work. Though, they may play back our own trick and respond in agreement, but deep within their heart, they know it all. Our family, friends, colleagues, people who may interact with us often and some smart (knowledgeable of the topic of discussion or worldly ...
