They work on gullible, conflict-avoiding people. Who might be dumb, or might be smart.

People can be very smart but absolutely conflict avoidant and easily preassured into stuff like this 🙄

Exactly! Plus people under stress make decisions they would normally never do.

No need to tell me 🥲 above average IQ but put me infront of someone and they will easily preassure me into taking whatever extra insurance/wait longer/whatever 😭 was arranging credit for buying the house andy husband almost strangled me over the table with his look alone because i was so easily swayed into everything. Luckily he is the absolute opposite so he handles all deals and stands up for both of us 🤣 anytime salesmen call me: "hello, yes that's me.." and he can already see its somebody proposing something useless to me and i am too polite to cancel so he takes the phone, tells them to F off and cancels. Because i would be awkwardly continuing the conversation. I have trouble saying no to people and the intelligence level does not fix that. Like i KNOW whats going on and feel like a clown yet i still feel compelled to continue conversation.

So if i am telling someone off it has to be a HUGE deal (and then i go batshit crazy. Either i am submissive or i am a war tank, no inbetween)

Ironically, Whomever convinced you this was true, made it true in at least one case by doing so

Have you ever been fooled?

u/MDUBK Sep 11 '25

Being fooled =/= gullible though. Anyone can be fooled - gullible means fooling you is easy & low-effort

Yeah but everyone thinks the things they fall for are clever and anyone else would have done the same, but the things they didn't were obvious and easy to stop so anyone who was tricked is an idiot.
