How Small Favors Manipulate You
Ever found yourself feeling compelled to return a favor or say "yes" because someone did something nice for you? This isn't just politeness; it's the powerful Reciprocity Norm at play. This social norm obligates us to repay others for their kindness, but in the hands of manipulators, it becomes a tool for control. Imagine receiving a small gift or favor and suddenly feeling indebted to the giver. It's not just about the act itself; it's about creating a sense of obligation that can be exploited. Why do people use this tactic? Because it taps into our deep-seated desire to be fair and reciprocal. Recognize this pattern? You're not alone. Being aware of the Reciprocity Norm is your first step to protecting yourself from subtle manipulations. Stay vigilant, stay empowered, and remember to guard your autonomy.
