Humans are hackable. Ask any conman. Our desire to think we have control over our lives often hides this from ourselves, but most of us are highly suggestible and hypnotizable. If you think you\u2019re not, you\u2019re in more danger of being hacked than someone who has humbled themselves enough to see how this works in them.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no need to be ashamed of being conned. Realizing that you\u2019ve been, or are being, conned will naturally bring up feelings of embarrassment, but it\u2019s never your fault that someone\u2019s taken you for a ride. Get clear: conning someone is the crime; being conned is being a victim of that crime. That\u2019s how the law sees it in fraud cases. Manipulators would love you to think that it\u2019s your fault for allowing yourself to be manipulated, but that\u2019s just another manipulation isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Manipulators use one of our most astounding, useful, and beautiful human characteristics when they con us\u2014empathy. Our innately trusting nature is the reason why we\u2019ve been able to collaborate on large scales to create and innovate in extraordinary ways unseen anywhere else in the animal kingdom. Because we learn by modeling, and we are shaped by the group we inhabit and our urge to create harmony will make life viscerally uncomfortable until we are back in alignment with our tribe. We are the peacemakers; we seek alignment, which is how we are paced by manipulators into aligning with their sick agendas. How gross is it then that our ability to empathize and relate to each other is one manipulators use to control us?
