Reverse psychology, i think it is because studying it for many years, and work as a counselor makes it almost second nature if you like..... but you dont have to be a psychologist to use this technique, how many of you use it? or even realize your using it?

If I were to have told you that I thought you might be a psychologist before you posted this,would you believe me?? 'Cause thats what I think about every time you post a serious question!!! You have this weird way of making people take self inventory and getting them to express themselves.It is a very healthy thing ya know,to take a self inventory.Some people realize that they can grow to love themselves once they recognize their own self worth.

It can be a terrible tool of manipulation. I have to assume you, as a college educated adult know where to draw the line, but don't you agree in the wrong hands/relationship it can be devastating over time? Something to ponder. I want to say that I never use reverse psychology, but I'll bet it's one of those things everyone is constantly subconsciously doing. Especially young lovers.

I think most people find themselves employing reverse psychology. I know I do - my roomie is a passive-aggressive personality, and it's the only way I can stay sane around him.

All the time!
Especially to make my husband feel bad for trying to make me lift heavy things and stuff like that.

Go away, I just let you go, and never come back. I will have to give my sweet loving to someone else that appreciates it more if you do not.

I don't think I'm aware of it but my son has accused me time and again of it. I must not be good at it.
