TW! ⚠️ HOW CAN YOU TELL IF SOMEONE IS MANIPULATING YOU? "Manipulation is an emotionally unhealthy psychological strategy used by people who are incapable of asking for what they want and need in a direct way.” — Sharie Stines I've been there, believe me. It's extremely traumatizing. Let me give you an example. If you're ever in an argument or a heated debate with someone and they ask you to say everything first so they can speak second, they may make it appear as if they want you to get everything off your chest, but they're actually manipulating you. A manipulator will frequently have you play all of your key points first in order to invalidate whatever you have to say. Don't play all of your high-value cards at once. 🃏
