Whenever someone gets caught doing something wrong, strange or socially unacceptable, watch what they compare it to. They won’t defend what they did. They’ll just point at something worse. “That’s nothing… someone else did way worse.” That’s not a defence. That’s a distraction. Because the moment you accept that comparison, you’ve already moved the conversation. Now you’re not talking about whether it was wrong… you’re talking about how wrong it was in comparison. And that’s the trick. They don’t need to be right. They just need you to stop looking directly at what they did. Wrong doesn’t become acceptable just because something worse exists. Most people fall for this, because they don’t realise the conversation just got hijacked. #unfilteredwisdom #manipulation #psychology #mindgames #awareness
