did you get manipulated usually by people?

[Ah.ow]

whenever I try talking, it seems that happens. no matter my other mindsets of the day or before the interaction, it happens almost every time?

I can't remember when it didn't happen, but it doesn't feel 100%? I don't know,

there seems a bunch of things like this, that I can't find ways to reduce? like getting hurt often, and then being told contradictions about that. I can be silent, but my needs make me talk a certain amount, even if small. and then another of the bad cycles happens? ha, like a horrible washing machine?

(I'm confused which forum to ask this on?)

I was definitely manipulated and pushed around when I was younger. Stupid of me, completely and utterly stupid of me.

Yes, many have tried and some have succeeded. Fuck my gullibility! I've been abused for money a few times too. I've, luckily, mostly got paid back later but sometimes I've had to demand it back with all my might. Nowadays I don't trust anybody, even my own family I find highly untrustworthy sometimes in some cases (sadly)...

There's the guilt trip - "How can you be so selfish?" "Remember I did that one thing for you. You owe me."

There's gaslighting - "it's all in your head." "That's not what happened. You've got it all wrong"

There's intimidation

There's projection.

There's playing the victim.

There's love bombing. "You're so great." "I've been looking for someone like you all my life." soon after meeting.

There's passive aggressive behavior. - to win, ignore it or take them literally.
