1. Feel extremely excited

A person's mood often affects his behavior. Human behavior is controlled by the brain. Under normal circumstances, self-awareness and rationality dominate. However, if you are stimulated by the external environment and feel excited, your self-awareness will be blurred, your rational thinking will be weakened, and you will make a wrong judgment.

The "bad guys" take advantage of this feature of human psychology, first set up a scene to bring you in, mobilize your emotions and make you excited. For example, some "training" will make you shout "I can do it" and "I want to make a lot of money" and so on. Once you get excited, your rational thinking and self-control ability will weaken, and then they will start to brainwash you.

2. Public commitment requirements

On the Internet, we often see some videos. Some companies train their employees, for example, shouting slogans and then doing all kinds of crazy behaviors. After watching this video, many people will despise it and think it can be brainwashed. It's sheer stupidity. There's no way they can do this.

However, psychologists' research shows that no matter how incredible you are, no matter how incredible you think, once you are put on the scene and asked to shout slogans with everyone, you are very likely to believe those exaggerated slogans and make exaggerated actions, which is a typical brainwashing technique in which behavior affects psychology.

Because the promises made loudly in public have an incredible effect on changing a person's psychology and even ideas. Once such behavior is done too much, it will be brainwashed subtly. So, if someone asks you to shout slogans in public or make a promise that you haven't considered clearly, then you should be careful.

When you have the following characteristics, you are being brainwashed by others:

First, attitude immunity.

Attitude immunity, like those we give every day, can be immune to viruses, and once brainwashed, it will also show immunity in attitude, that is to say, no matter how advised by outsiders, you will not listen. For example, we often see in the news that some people are still convinced of their tricks after being rescued by the MLM organization, but they have doubts about the rescuer, which shows that they have been seriously brainwashed.

Second, influenced by groups.

As we all know, when a person is in a group, the individual's thoughts are easily unified by the will of the group. In fact, this so-called group doesn't need too many people, and three or five people may change your mind. We ancient people have the saying that "three people make a tiger", and psychologists' research also shows that it only takes five people to make many people say right or wrong.

Being in a group, a person is often more likely to accept those views that are usually unacceptable. Faced with huge and even horrible group pressure, he often chooses to obey. Therefore, when you find that the contradiction between you and one person has been turned into the contradiction between you and more than two people by the other party, you should be on your guard. This may be carefully set up by the other party to make you submit.
