Lol when reverse psychology works you mean. Reverse Psychology is a manipulation tactic that works on a defense mechanism by the person that it targets. By giving into the reverse psychology, the victim is fooled into thinking that rebellion or rejection to the offer is in fact their own idea. Since they came the conclusion on their own, they far more likely to accept it.
