Psychological manipulation

Psychological manipulation is when someone tries to control or change your thoughts, feelings and behavior without you realizing it. They might use trickery, lying, and pressure to get you to do something that you wouldn't normally do. For example, they might pretend to be your friend and then try to get you do something that you don't want to. It's like a magician trying to trick you, but with words and emotions instead of cards or coins.
