blink her eyes like this and that is because when we're really nervous we literally want to close out stimuli to not see what's happening so we can process what's happening.

So blink rate is something that a lot of manipulative people cannot control.

In fact, when I share this, people go, oh, I know a very narcissistic manipulative person who has a very high blink rate.

Because they're literally like trying to block out the lie or the manipulation.

And so they'll sound really good, but they're like really like processing a lot.

And you're like, why are they blinking so much?

And it's because they're trying to process.

So just knowing those cues, they're not all bad on their own, but it's important to know what those cues look like so you can spot them.

And I do think,

I really think manipulative people will get caught eventually.

It is very hard to fake competence.

It is very hard to fake warmth.

It's hard to keep that up.

And so for the long game, yes, you can learn a couple of these cues and try to master your way around them.

But for the long game, it's really hard.

I mean, look at, you know, Theranos, right?

So Elizabeth Holmes.
