Dark psychology: It sounds insidious, and for a good reason. Dark psychology involves acknowledging that every person is capable of harming others, though the vast majority does not. Those who seek to harness dark psychology often have selfish and frequently insidious reasons for tapping into these skill sets, ranging from seeking to get specific votes or manipulating a person into giving them the relationship they feel they want or need.
These behaviors that fall into dark psychology are often seen as amoral, sometimes illegal, and typically are considered socially unacceptable. These are covert attempts at literally controlling another person's mind, swaying their thoughts or feelings, and attempting to implant one's own thoughts into the mind of another. These skills sound intimidating for a reason-to take away one's own thoughts is to take away that very person as an individual.
One thing that many people take for granted is their ability to be free. They feel as though they are able to make their own decisions, and therefore are in control. However, this is not always the case. Consider when speaking to a child and presenting him with the illusion of choice: He may be given the option to eat peas or carrots as his dinner vegetable. The child will likely be thrilled to have been given the option and happily eat whatever he has chosen while thinking it was of his own volition.
