[[Emotional Manipulation|Manipulators]] like to take any statement that has been said and turn it around or twist its meaning in order to use it against you. Usually with manipulators that are good with [[Doublespeak]] the conversation will be mixed with ambiguous and confusing language that together when it all adds up does not make any logical sense. Many times it’s a lot of words, with no meaning or substance. Sometimes a part of it may make sense but the rest of the conversation has no connection to what has been said. [[Doublespeak]] is a lack of coherence, the person may come off as intelligent using certain words, but they are either confused or attempting to confuse others away from seeing the truth. You may have listened to this person talk for an hour, and have no idea what the point really was in the conversation. This may also happen a lot in relationships with close emotional bonds and will effectively destroy the trust and intimacy between people. When we use private or vulnerable issues and we use as a weapon for doublespeak, it is emotionally damaging. Speaking what you mean and expressing clear, accurate words, is extremely important. Say what you mean and do what you say.<ref>[http://www.energeticsynthesis.com/index.php/resource-tools/ascension-tools/assessing-trustworthiness Assessing Trustworthiness]</ref> | [[Emotional Manipulation|Manipulators]] like to take any statement that has been said and turn it around or twist its meaning in order to use it against you.

==Doublethink== | |||
[[Doublethink]] is the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts. Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy and [[Neutrality]]. Also related is cognitive dissonance, in which contradictory beliefs cause conflict in one's mind. Doublethink is notable due to a lack of cognitive dissonance — thus the person is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction. | |||

* Confusion: Manipulators employ tactics to divert attention from the real issue, to argue and create dissent specifically with intent to confuse the issue, confuse the group, or deliberately use ambiguity or [[Doublespeak]] in order to deceive or mislead. This is many times shows up as, “do not look here, let me confuse you to stay focused on minutiae of unrelated details, or divert energy and attention to me and my agenda”. | * Confusion: Manipulators employ tactics to divert attention from the real issue, to argue and create dissent specifically with intent to confuse the issue, confuse the group, or deliberately use ambiguity or [[Doublespeak]] in order to deceive or mislead.
