I am someone with borderline personality disorder who has been trying to be a nice person for karma purposes but is now realizing that is bullshit so I'd like to start using people the way they use me. I have come to realize that the only way for me to potentially live an enjoyable life is to learn to control my emotions better so I can better manipulate people. At the point I'm at now, I don't care about anything. When I'm in this mode I can be pretty charming because I don't have nerves or think before I talk, so everything comes out smoother. I think it would be fun to manipulate men into buying me things and falling for me, or just manipulate people into doing things for me in general, especially things I can gain from financially. Does anyone have any tips to be a better manipulator? I'm looking for specific things I can implement in real life. Not vague things like "be mysterious".

Make them think that it is their decision and greatest desire to do what you tell them to do.
:D you're making this real hard for me bud. what else do you know about manipulation?
Okay, I'm going to give some suggestions. The best way to not allow yourself to get manipulated it to know your weaknesses. The best way to manipulate others is to find there's and use it against them. If you come across a person who looks lonely, use that. If you see someone who need guidance in life, use it! The cracks in people are your enterance. The weaker the person, the more cracks, and the easier they are to see.
Now, there is a difference between being obnoxiously mean and playing a role. One you find the crack, decide how you are going to act around them. Being mean, is well mean. And well, playing a role is, maniplative. Take it slow, and DONT be obvious about it.
Giving the victim "information" about yourself is a great way to build trust, i think it makes the victim feel like they can open up to you.
Prey: "omg I love those shoes we saw at the mall! What do you think of them?"
Perhaps it gives them a sence of connection and closeness.
Use all the information your victim gives you. I'd suggest that you start with a easy target.
if they start to get suspicious. You're best bet would be to throw them off track. By this I mean, make them feel bad or like they're unworthy or something. You could make it seem like things are their fault and use that as you're "get out of dodge" card. If you aren't done with them, you could always say you're mentally of physically ill. Whether it's true of not, they will feel for you and it will distract them.
Always stay in character and play it cool!
Hope this was in the realm of what you here hoping for. Good luck!
This idea came to me after scheming a way to make alcoholics treat themselves without having to openly crush their human rights.
Basically, one should come to the house of the said alcoholic, explain how his/her behavior is wrong and innocently suggest to take part in this opportunity to get money by not drinking. The scheme would be to have the alcoholic visited by the end of the day for a set time period and make him blow in the alcotester to determine if s/he was drinking. If s/he wasn't, his or her income (probably granted by the government) would be increased by some set amount. If s/he was, the income would be decreased. It would have to be presented as an opportunity to earn money while dismissing a bad habit. It is very likely that the alcoholic would fail and end up having no money. At that point s/he would be urged to receive forced treatment. Some of them might change their ways and get out of their alcoholism, but the government would not lose money because of that since it is very likely that money would be saved, courtesy of the ones who do fail. So, the idea is to have them hospitalized. I think that most of them would accept this opportunity to get more money, therefore they would take part in the scheme willingly.
In short the goal is to have them treated by deluding into thinking that they wanted to take part in the program and telling them they fucked up and now have to agree to the treatment if they want to get their income back.
This made me come up with that sentence.
Yes, this is not a good plan and it still stomps on their rights. It is just something I came up with randomly in like five minutes.
