Learn the Signs of a Manipulative Relationship

 

 

Some people are master manipulators. They are professional in manipulation, and often you do not even realize you are being cheated. A manipulative person is skilled in his “job.” Each of your movements is calculated, designed to control you to do or think whatever you want.

If you are in a relationship with an emotionally manipulative person, you may be the last to realize it.

They have a way of continually playing the victim, making you feel guilty and leading you to believe they have your best interests at heart when that could not be further from the truth.

If you suspect that you are being manipulated by someone, see the following 11 signs of manipulative behavior to be sure if you are in a Manipulative Relationship:

Manipulative Relationship Warning Sign #1. Manipulative people love constant accusations

Accusations are frequent occurrences when a person is in a relationship with a manipulator. The purpose of the allegations is to provoke discussion, which motivates the manipulator to become a victim and convince the other person that they are wrong.

 

Manipulative Relationship Warning Sign #2. Manipulative people play games with emotions

Emotional manipulators play with our emotions to make us feel doubtful and insecure. Generally, they meant to make us angry or saddened, for when we are in situations involving low vibration feelings, we are more susceptible to manipulations.

 

Manipulative Relationship Warning Sign #3. Manipulative people damage things from the manipulated

Manipulating people can often ruin something they know is important to you, just to leave you in a sad state. If this ever happens, know that it is a toxic pattern of behavior. They are abusive, make no mistake.

 

Manipulative Relationship Warning Sign #4. Manipulative people encourage jealousy

Jealousy greatly harms us. Manipulators know this, and so they do everything to provoke us and blind us with clouds of suspicion. In playing this game, they may convince us to do whatever they want. This behavior may manifest in your partner flirting with others in front of you or comparing you often to strangers.

Manipulative Relationship Warning Sign #5. Manipulative people Act like they are the victim

Manipulators always act like victims. No matter what the situation, they still misread your words and make you feel guilty until you believe you did something wrong and that you should apologize. When you fall into their story, you become more prone to manipulation.

 

Manipulative Relationship Warning Sign #6. Manipulative people make you feel guilty for their mistakes.

An emotional manipulator is professional at placing blame on others. If he forgets something, it’s because you did not remember it. If he’s late for a date, it’s because you told him the wrong time. Every time that person makes a mistake, it turns you into your mistake before you even realize what’s going on. An emotional manipulator will never admit guilt.

 

Manipulative Relationship Warning Sign #7. Manipulative people hurry the manipulated to make decisions

Someone who is manipulating always rushes the other to make a decision. This person rarely allows you to take the time to analyze your options and make a wise choice. They know that by doing this, they are more likely to make things go as they wish.

Emotional manipulators use language to control people. They use flattering words and make promises to make you trust them but never have any intention of keeping their word. When they break a promise, they will blame you.

 

Manipulative Relationship Warning Sign #9. Manipulative people make you believe you are always negotiating

As part of twisting your words, an emotional manipulator will make you think that you are negotiating. When it comes to situations that you disagree with, it has an indirect way of twisting the conversation to make you believe that you have settled on a middle ground. In fact, they are getting what they want, and you do not. Every time.

 

Manipulative Relationship Warning Sign #10. Manipulative people lie constantly



Part of the daily routine of an emotional manipulator is lying. He lies about exceptional situations, small details, and things that do not even matter. Emotional manipulators lie partly just to see if they can make you believe in whatever they would like. They consistently embellish stories and invent things because they are incapable of being honest and telling the truth.

 

Manipulative Relationship Warning Sign #11. Manipulative people tend to distort your words

At the end of a conversation with someone who is emotionally manipulating you, you are completely confused. An emotional manipulator is an expert in twisting your words and making you question your own thoughts, opinions, and feelings. If you express an opinion they don’t like, they will casually, but intentionally convince you that you do not really feel that way.
