What do Emotional Manipulators do to you?
Emotional manipulators manipulate your emotions to feel what they want you to feel.
Bad emotional manipulators use your insecurities, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities against you to make you feel bad about yourself.
They want to punish you for the following reasons:
-You displeased them
-You make them feel insecure, so they want to make you feel insecure
-You threaten them, so they want to shame you
-You are not acting the way they want
-You are not doing what they want you to do
Pay attention to how you feel around everyone you interact with. Your feelings will tell you whether the person is good for you or bad for you.
Simply limit contact or cut contact with people who are not good for you.
