b"HOW TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER Yes, something legitimately bad could have happened to them, but their main tactic is to use this as an excuse to trick you into giving in to their wishes and demands.Regardless of the style of the manipulator, their script is the same. They command the action you're supposed to take, and you're supposed to do what they want without refuting. If you notice this pattern in any of your interactions, you might be in an unhealthy relationship with a manipulative person.4.What are the signs of manipulation? Emotional manipulators are generally very skilled. They start with a subtle manipulation and raise the stakes over time, so slowly, you don't even realize it's happening. So, what should you watch out for?They undermine your confidence in your understanding of reality. Their actions do not match their words. They are experts at distributing guilt. They claim the role of the victim. They are an emotional bottomless pit. They eagerly agree to help and maybe even volunteer, then act like martyrs. They are always one step ahead of you. They know all your emotional buttons and aren't shy about pushing them.This is not an exhaustive list. By observing, you may find that it is not always easy to recognize when someone is trying to manipulate or control you. Remember, the sneakier a manipulator is, the harder it is to recognize their endgame.Still, with the manipulation being so destructive, it's important to have a general idea of what to look for. But be careful not to assume that someone loud and, lively is trying to coerce you, it could just be an outgoing personality.Germain Decelles251"
