4 DANGEROUS Signs of a Machiavellian Person 

POV Mewtwo

But obviously, both are preferred.

@@venmis137 how do you become both loved and feared?

@@mr.e2962 idk I've never tried to inspire those emotions myself. But it's definitely possible. The love could perhaps come from a respect of the person, or an appreciation of all the good things they have done and their good nature. The fear could come from a knowledge of that person's authority, and their willingness to use it to harsh effect if you disrespect, disobey, or step out of line in any way. The Church does it with God I think, where you're supposed to be both "god-fearing" and loving of god simultaneously. It's a dynamic in traditional father-son relationships from what I've heard. I'm not sure which is better to cultivate first, personally I lean more towards fear. Fear is safer on its own than love, then once you're secure in that you can use a softer hand, and the subject will be grateful and adoring to you for the relief. By contrast cultivating love first is a more insecure position, and once you have to instil fear it is probably much more likely to instil resentment in the subject, who will probably feel a sense of betrayal.

@@mitsuha4788 no idea and okay

Thanks! I love this things !!

Mine that being RaisorBlade checks pretty much every box! Love your channel Psych2Go, it really does help me with my life! 😃

That really helped me shave off 10 seconds off my speedrun 👍

I have no idea what happened in ur family but take this a piece of advice from a complete stranger:plz don’t share your very personal problems with anyone especially on internet i know it can be hard when you don’t have anyone to open up but hey,things will get better anyway

Same 🙄

Assuming it's true, that is one very interesting and unfortunate family dynamic.

@@mouhamedboudjahem what ?

And that's because I don't plan to build a family. I got fed up of these narcissistic, machiavellian, toxicity and poison system in my family.

Thank you for watching!!!😊❤

Same! I have a main character who's a machiavellian type of person in a lot of aspects

i literally came here to comment this exact thing lmao

DUDE, SAME! Almost everyone in my OC's family is part of the dark triad one way or another

this is a really good idea for writers

Narcissism is useful too 😢

@@clarapena1484 I wouldn't say so, not in a long run. Narcissists end up alone and hated, sooner or later.

Lol.

@@MrCurlz no at the end of the day people will hate you for choosing work over friends, and try to make me look like the bad guy even when I’m not using any other of those tools so now, I just don’t care when I use all the tools in my disposal.

@@TheOverLord2x well I think it would be more indifference than hate, so if you don't want any friends at the first place it could work out

Wow, me too, but I like “48 rules of power” it kinda felt like home, like happy that someone understood that there is another tactic, by nonetheless it made me not alone.

Same here. I too have read the Prince and excerpts of the 48 Laws of Power. I’m an INFJ and when I took the Dark Triad test, I scored extremely low for Psychopathy and Narcissism but scored higher on Machiavelianism with a 62%. It’s interesting because I don’t think the suggestions in this video really fit me. I don’t go about gossiping about other people, I’m not that competitive to point where I hurt other relationships, I don’t use insincere flattery (I try to be irrevocable with my word most of the time), and I’m not regularly manipulative. Could I do those things? Sure but there’s no value to it. All of those characteristics listed in video sound more indicative to Narcism rather than Machiavelianism. For me, Machiavellian strategy isn’t really about being villainous or grabbing power but rather using survival strategies, understanding circumstances, and being street smart.

@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 I agree with you, after all why use every force you have when your only getting a little portion of it. At first I thought having a Machiavellian personality is a bad thing but you shed a little light that it may not be the case. If we are talking to mbti is it common for infj? Because I’m intj and I’m not well informed about Mbti right now.

@@Why-nv2js Probably not. I don’t thinks it’s innate for INFJ’s to be Machiavelianian. I think Machiavelianism is actually a learned trait and that any personality is capable of it. For me, it started as a child. I came from divorced parents and lived most of my formative years with my mom who was an abusive Narcissist. Thankfully, I had an intervention as my dad got me out of that environment but when I went to live with him, I came with cluster B traits. While most of them have gone away through counseling, my parents noticed that I was capable of being opportunistic during my teens. I think it really came from watching my moms behavior. While she didn’t directly sit me down and tell me “okay son this is how you can be manipulative. Now go and do it like a good doggy”. It was more like she was regularly exploitative and that I picked up on those cues regarding its effects on specific circumstances. I don’t know how other people became Machiavellian.

@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 well in my case, when I was elementary grade 2 where I transferred school to private school. It was my first time meeting them and I was happy to meet my classmates family even the other teacher. My mom said that I was bright emphatic kid. But it all went down. The first time I was accused of touching her pp, mind you at that time I don’t know what they were talking about. And my mother interrogated me for a week, it felt torture as no one is coming to comfort me, even my father is busy at his stocks. Because of it I felt despair as no one is here to comfort me. And later on I was mentally drained and I comply everything they accused me of. After that one of my teacher used this opportunity to alienate me and hove more nice view on himself, but I didn’t think it was bad, because it helps them to have more connections to the classmates. But he is a good teacher as he is the only teacher I could play and have fun, rather than the other teacher using there harsh words and their disgusted view. Thanks to this I’ve been alone for a decade, right now I’m trying to fix myself, but it’s hard to change your habit that’s been with you for a decade. Because of this I’m only good at math, science and civic because this teacher are really nice, but the rest I suck because of there treatments on me. Basically I’m afraid of people who are easily misinformed or manipulated, as they will cut ties with you without a warning, maybe that’s the reason why I’m afraid of having a real friend, when you’re surrounded with people who are easily manipulated. As it could damage me and my other connections. I guess I felt relief that there are Machiavellian out there, so that I could understand if I did wrong to other people. When I was a kid they have a negative point of me because of my race, I guess that time they were racist, but I didn’t believe that they were racist, because I had a classmates of multiracial people, it made me have a good view on humanity, and I didn’t believe about racism at that time, I don’t see different about there face and race, but until I went to the private school it felt I was the different it felt as if there league is different from me. Even to this day I’m afraid of people.

A great analysis

now you got me interested in reading the Prince, lol! I always thought it was a boring book about how to become a ruler or something

I think you’re on point about the “Prince” serving more as a warning for future politicians and about a Machiavellian being more observant analytical than villainous. I feel that this video failed capture that and that most characteristics listed out are more indicative to Narcissism or Malignant Narcissism rather than Machiavelianism. When I took the Dark Triad test, I scored low on every thing else but came out as a High Machiavellian but I don’t really do the things suggested in this video.

@@georockstar09 it's interesting

Thank you so much. I was wondering if its only me or does anyone else in the world see it the same way. Very reassuring.

The Trips I've been having have really helped me a lot,I finally feel in control of my emotions and my future and things that used to be mundane to me now seem incredible and full of nuance on top of that I'm way less driven by my ego and I have alot more empathy as well

@Micheal Harris Can dr.sporess send to me in Ny?

Dr.spores is the best, he's been my go to for anything psychedelics.

This whole thread is a scam

Ha ha ha

Couldn't agree more to this. 💯💯💯

Sadly it seems people in positions of power that we cannot say no to tend to be Machiavellian.

All part of Aizen’s plan

They still won though

@@thadsmith6520 This time.

Kisaki from Tokyo Revengers is a great example too, he's very smart but uses his perceptiveness and adaptability to manipulate people from behind the scenes and to turn them against each other for his own gains and influence.

@@KitsuNerezza And then there’s also Light Yagami and Yuno Gasai (Future Diary) and both of them are basically anime versions of The Joker without the clown motif.

@@joshuaolsoncook There is also Baku Madarame from Usogui and Johan Liebert from monster

@@greenboi5632 Johan's another great example! Man I need to rewatch Monster one of these days

@@KitsuNerezza Try reading Usogui if you haven't Baku Madarame a menace

That was a b!tçh move

My situation is identical to yours. I was married for 13 years, he left me 2 years ago once he'd acquired my life savings, a substantial amount of money. He also took my home. I have CPTSD, and have become a recluse because i feel ashamed that i was so gullable. I wish you well in your recovery.

referring to someone as a machavellean and self diagnosing them with a personality disorder.. you come off as clueless and toxic. No one can be a machavillian. You can be scaled low or high with machavilliasm. It's not a disorder. Anyone can be scaled for machavilliasm. Personality disorders like npd have to evualted by professionals. Bipolar, ADHD and alcholism have to be ruled out or comorbid to be diagnosed with it. It's not determined by how toxic or crappy of a partner they are. Anyone can be that way without any disorder playing a role.

Thank you for watching!!!😊❤

So your fiance is in the midst of two machiavellics, I wonder how she survives.

@@yasmeen9592 I do know how I act but I do try my best not to manipulate her and try to protect her and my children. It's interesting life day to day. Kind of nuts but life is interesting for sure

As a High Machiavellian, I don’t really do those things either. I just have an understanding of how some people work and know how to pull strings if needed. Otherwise, I don’t really make it my mission to exploit people.

So how did you decide that you are high Machiavellian? What traits do you see in yourself ?

@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 I've always been one-sided in life and have 'chosen' sides to those who can provide me with stuff i want. I've always disregarded arguments from the other person's side by ignoring right and wrong for the sake of getting what i want. It's survival, but it comes with a price. I only cope with listening to both side's bullshit for my end, otherwise i wouldn't even care to bother if it wasn't for my leverage. I'm friendly by nature, but have a zero tolerance policy to not getting what i want, and sometimes chose the worst decisions for others misery i'm not proud of. I'm certain others who have high personality traits of Machiavellianism have been in this situation before.

citations needed

Lol. It’s okay. I like this channel but this is one of the few times where I have to differ. As a High Machiavellian, I don’t really do the things mentioned in this video. Most of things suggested in the video sound like things a person would do if they were on a ego trip which is kinda narcissistic than Machiavellian. “The Prince” as it is is more than scheming to the top for power. It’s a how to rule manual that stipulates instructions for survival in politics and how to deal with specific dubious people in society. To put it bluntly, it teaches you how to be street smart than villainous.

@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 thank you!!!! I thought the video sounded more along the lines of psychopathy and narcissism too. It's honestly quite difficult to spot a Mach because it would thwart our plans to be found out lol

I am too. However when it gets serious we do whatever it takes to eliminate and win. Only when there’s high stakes I’m not ego chasing every victory.

if you're worried you're machiavellian, then you're probably not

Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video 😊❤

Machavillians aren't a thing. Machavilliasm can only scaled low to high with people in general
