Do you think subconscious manipulation has become a normal mode of interpersonal communication?

I don't know where a heard this but someone once told me that unconscious consumers are the best kind. meaning that they are most susceptible to persuasion, so I'd say subconscious communication is more common than conscious.

*I Agree Thoroughly With Waiwera*.. Yes..

Communication cues below our normal consciousness have always been a part of our communication. The trick is to bring them into your awareness - cognitive consciousness. A person's smell. The twitch of an eye, how they use their hands, face; their posture. "Manipulation" is not necessarily bad, it simply is. All communication, even a baby's cry, is an attempt to manipulate your surroundings (feed me; change me, I did a poopie). Voice tone, vocalizations that are not words, movement, all of these are normal modes of communication and are used to elicit (manipulate) a response.

No, it isn't new.

We've had it before we've had speech.

yes and im getting sick of it why play games .. i just come at people real either they can do what i want or not but im not going to trick people into things

no, and if it is you are not with straight and honest people. I would suggest that you stop thinking like this and work at communicating honestly and openly with everyone you meet. Transparancy is the key to a solid successful life. Duana

I'm probably the wrong person to ask.
