A lot of it is not that hard to figure out. Some things like the one I presented to you is very simple. If the person knows the trick they might have found a way to protect themselves from it.
Some might also identify it but are not completely able to control the situation. That takes an expert. You can if you really wanted to. You think that trick I gave you was a lie? Why don't you try it?
I gave you something very simple so its not like you can do a whole lot of harm with it. However if you wish to remain ignorant that is entirely your decision. It is your choice to stay at the level you are at now. You could change it but you seem to enjoy being stupid.
You also seem to assume every single person is the same. They are not. Some might react differently. Some might not fall for it. Nothing is 100%. So you cant assume these little tricks work on everyone.
Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. Manipulation is controlling behavior. So it falls into that group. Anyone can be manipulated. You should not act like it can not happen to you. Since that is when it will.
Those tricks and that knowledge on the human behavior is empirical. You don't need to study psychology to know that. Besides, I think you should read and analize what I write before you answer. I never act as if I couldn't be manipulated. Anyone can be manipulated, but psychologists don't know accurate techniques to do so. We rely on our intuition and experience to do that.
Science is supposed to go beyond that and determine the cause and effects of things. Psychology doesn't achieve that in most of its researchs.
And well, you seem to be getting a little aggresive for no reason, so I will just leave it here.
I already said you could pick up basic tricks just by observing people. I never said you had to study it to learn those tricks. I am saying that is "psychology" that is very basic though. You can learn a lot from watching people and paying attention. I also said most psychologists don't use true psychology in my other comments. Interrogators use these type of thing to get information out of people. Criminals use manipulation to hurt people. It is the study of "Behaviour" that is Psychology. So predicting how someone will react is actually psychology you just don't realize it. Anyone can get tricked. Knowing the trick does not mean you can get out of it. Especially when that person is playing everyone around you. So a trickster can always mess up your life. I have known many of them. Those tricks are simple and I learned it from watching people. Certain behaviour is predictable and you will see patterns. A lot of people make the same mistakes. Why do you think there is so many of the same posts on this site? Most people make the same type of mistake and so many others. No matter how many times we find a solution to it that thing will keep happening. So if you find the patterns you find the trick.
I agree with what you say, but just observation is not enough for a true science. Experimentation is necessary to truly know the causes of things. I never said psychology isn't real. Of course it is. It is just not "practical" as a product, that's my whole point.
Not knowing how to use something does not mean it is not practical. they teach you these steps in science. You should remember them. I linked it since I was not sure if I could explain it so well. The link breaks down the steps.
Is it normal that I think that psychology is a scam?
