When does it become emotional blackmailing? You may feel good in the beginning, being the grownup in the relationship, but did you know that you are being manipulated? Manipulators are experts at victimizing themselves, to make you give them more than what they give back in return. Some people tend to use fear, obligation and guilt to make you feel bad.

1. They blame you for something you didn’t do or say

 

 

 

2. They give you the silent treatment

 

 

 

3. They exaggerate about having a dramatic event happen in their life

 

 

 

4. They pretend to be sick
