Some people have relatively amorphous ideas about manipulation. They see it as a trick or tactic that some people use to coerce others into giving them what they want. But manipulation is not so shapeless. Manipulation should be thought of as a set of tactics rather than just one and these all can be used to influence others in a dramatic way. Punishment represents a simple type of manipulation. Although punishment overlaps with negative reinforcement, the latter is a tactic that is generally used to action to a reward while punishment does not have to necessarily have a goal of reinforcing a behavior.

For example, a manipulator may “punish” you to make you emotionally weak, demoralized, or because it pleasures them to do so. This may be difficult for some to relate to or to understand, but a manipulator or a narcissist does not have to necessarily have a goal in doling out punishment to their victim. Their goal may be to weaken you to such a state that you become easier prey for their abuse, or they may behave in this manner towards you just because they can. Although one may think of punishment in the context of manipulation as having a particular goal, punishment may be part of a larger spectrum of manipulative behaviors that together serve the goal of leaving you weakened and dependent.

Reinforcement is another important type of manipulation. Reinforcement links behavior to a result, so if you do something that the manipulator likes they may reward you or they may instead punish you. he first type, positive reinforcement, is designed to reinforce or encourage the behavior by linking it to something positive in your mind. This positive result or reward can be anything: food, money, sex, attention. The manipulator would have read you accurately enough to determine what you value so that they can use it in their manipulation scheme. Indeed, manipulators rely on information that you give them (even unconscious information) so one of the most valuable tools of defense is keeping those things about yourself that others do not need to know to yourself.

Negative reinforcement also links behavior to a result, but in this case, the result is a negative one. A manipulator can use any punishment to discourage a behavior in you. In some countries, it is common for managers of factories to punish their employees for complaining about work conditions by cutting employee hours, paying employees late, or stalking them. In this example, the purpose of the manipulative negative reinforcement is to discourage complaints, limit independent thought and action, and instill fear.

Whether the reinforcement is positive or negative, the goal is the same: to place you more deeply under the control of the manipulator. Manipulators (at least the unethical ones) are behaving in a predatory manner so any leeway you give them merely encourages them to continue with their predatory tactics. For instance, if the manipulator sees that their tactics are working, they will be inclined to continue with this treatment. This
