Dealing With Emotional Manipulators

Have you been a victim of emotional manipulators? You may or may not know because the signs of emotional manipulators are almost unnoticeable.

Emotional manipulators use some highly effective psychological techniques to which anyone can be vulnerable. They always make sure to make you distrust your senses that they are being taken advantage of or mistreated.

So, how to know if you are being emotionally manipulated?

To overcome an emotional manipulator, it is important for you to become more aware of the clever, underhanded methods that manipulative people choose to aggress against you. Here is the list of their defense mechanisms and offensive tactics you should be aware of:

1. Denial –To salvage themselves in the situation, it is their behavior to refuse to admit that they’ve done something wrong. This is their way of playing innocent to make you feel unjustified in confronting them about the inappropriateness of their behavior.

2. Intentional Inattention – It is when the manipulator refuses to pay attention to everything or anything just to pursue their plans. In short, it is when they are pretending to be mute, deaf or ignorant.

3. Bullying - they usually intimidate their victims to keep you anxious or keep you in submissive position.

4. Guilt Tripping – this is a passive form of aggression. This usually happens when someone burden you with guilt to make you feel bad.

5. Humiliation - in order to maintain a position of dominance, a manipulator uses this technique to make you feel inadequate or worthless.

6. Blaming Game – a popular game of manipulators. They know how to pin the blame on others to escape the confrontation.

Emotional manipulators are like shadow in dark for those who don’t know how they perform their deceptive tactics.
