In our lives, there are always some people who, in the name of love, play with other people's feelings and hurt other people's hearts. These people are PUAs (pick-up artists), and they often control and manipulate others through various means, such as sweet words, false promises, etc. But we can't feel helpless and scared just because they're good at manipulating. Instead, we can protect ourselves from harm by learning how to recognize and respond to PUA.
1. Be wary of those"Perfect"of people.
PUA often molds one for itself"Perfect"image, they may have attractive appearance, intelligence, and attractive character. However, we must understand that true perfection does not exist. If a person looks too perfect, then he is most likely hiding something. Therefore, when you meet someone who seems perfect, you need to be vigilant and not be fooled by their appearance.
2. Pay attention to their behavior.
PUAs often use manipulation, deception, and violence to achieve their own ends. If you find that your partner is often lying, controlling your actions, devaluing you, or physically threatening you, then you are most likely dealing with a PUA. In this case, you need to take immediate action to protect yourself from harm.
3. Be self-aware.
Staying self-aware is key to preventing PUA damage. We need to understand our values and beliefs and stick to our principles and bottom line. When we meet someone who is trying to change us, we need to be brave enough to reject them and stand our ground. Only in this way can we avoid being controlled and manipulated by the PUA.
4. Ask for help.
If you find yourself unable to get out of the PUA's control, then you need to seek help. You can seek support and advice from family, friends or a professional organisation. They can help you find ways to cope with PUA, while also providing the emotional support you need. You may feel ashamed or frightened in the process of seeking help, but remember that you are not alone and many people have been through similar situations.
