1. Be The Memorable Ghost.
You know those friends you& #39;ve known for years but you nothing substantial about them?
They use two simple principles when interacting with people;

Never giving valuable details away.
How do you do this?
When you feel like oversharing, ask yourself if it& #39;s worth it.
If the answer isn& #39;t clear or won& #39;t have any meaningful impact on the interaction, don& #39;t share it.

Have a decoy plan.
People love to poke holes where they have no business at all.
So, if you feel like you are under any investigation, admit to being guilty. But admit to different inconsequential guilt.

2. Play People& #39;s Hand, Never Yours.
Mirror people& #39;s tactics.
Play along to whatever they are insinuating. And when all is said, flip it on them. Guilt trip your accuser for thinking so low of you.

Keep people on their toes.
If someone worries, dread the shit out of it. Confirm their fears of you. Never give someone a sense of comfort.

If it weren& #39;t so important, they wouldn& #39;t bring it up.
Defense reveals priority. And that& #39;s their weak point.
If someone shares something irrelevant to the situation, they unwittingly want to influence you with it. Don& #39;t give much care to it. Brush it off.

3. Emotional Control.
If you want to intimidate someone, be non-reactive. Don& #39;t display anger display cold detachment. Appear completely calm.

Nonchalance
Be comfortable with silence. After provocations, don& #39;t speak at all. Give people a minute to rationalize what they just said. (Maintain eye contact.)

Groundbreaking comebacks.
Your reaction after their rant to provoke you should be something completely irrelevant. ("Who would you like to live like for a day?")
With this reaction, you take back control. You now have the power to dictate the FRAME of the confrontation.

4. Stick, Never Twist.
Make sure there are no discrepancies in your statements. Never justify yourself to attacks.
Make sure there are no discrepancies in your statements. Never justify yourself to attacks.
Accusations are attacks.
Guilt is always pre-determined, so to all accusations, deny and leave it at that.
Truth is self-evident. Any justifications are deemed as excuses and will only dig your grave further. https://twitter.com/sanctemalum/status/1465238786875564037?s=20">https://twitter.com/sanctemal...

Never Apologize.
Unless absolutely necessary, never apologize. A public apology is a no-go zone.
Instead, praise someone& #39;s effort for going against you.
Sell them a different sense of importance.

5. Have fun with it.
The charismatic approach to such a situation is to make a joke out of that situation.
Don& #39;t take things seriously.
Ridicule their reaction then, empathize with them.

Be unpredictable.
Catch people off guard. Do the opposite of what they expect from you.
The human brain looks for consistencies. Any inconsistency will intrigue people.
And if someone is intrigued, they are likely to get you off the hook.
