Move 1: Smile is an almighty "soul weapon"
Remember, a smile is your most powerful weapon! When the other person tries to use "tricks" against you, don't panic and start with a sincere smile. It's not just an expression, it's a transmission of attitude. A smile can instantly shorten the distance between each other and make the other person feel your friendliness and tolerance. In this way, their little tricks will be hidden in front of you.
Trick 2: Listening is the best "psychological line of defense"
Sometimes, you think you've seen through the other person's "tricks", but don't rush to expose them, listen to them first. Listening is the cornerstone of trust-building and a tool to see through lies. In the process of listening, you can not only catch the flaws in the other person's words, but also show your generosity and wisdom. Remember, patience is key, and sometimes, the truth is revealed without the other person noticing.
Move 3: Change the topic and invalidate the "trap".
When the other person tries to manipulate you in some way, you don't have to be tough at all. At this point, changing the subject is a clever strategy. To put it simply, it's about making the other person realize that their topic is no longer important. You can subtly introduce a completely new topic and make the other person's "trap" invalid in an instant.
Trick 4: Direct communication to solve the "psychological puzzle"
If you feel that the other person's behavior has seriously affected your work, then direct communication is the best way to solve the problem. Don't be afraid of conflict and be brave enough to express your opinions and feelings. Of course, pay attention to tone and wording when communicating, and strive to be both firm and polite. This way, the other person will naturally realize that their actions have caused you resentment and thus avoid a similar situation from happening again.
