    Its very important to note that if you try hard enough you can see manipulation everywhere despite it not actually being there.
    Its all too common these days that people infantilize themselves and place all responsibility on their partner and when that relationship inevitably fails they blame it on the partner being manipulative.
    If you become too paranoid you start self sabotaging your own relationships

      I feel like if calling someone out for their manipulative behaviour, which we have all done at some point, intentional or not, causes them to paint you as a villain, then it proves that they were fully intending to manipulate you.
      In which case, they have now failed, and get defensive or shift the blame to you (whether they say it or not), which is yet another form of manipulation.
      Someone doing it unintentionally would acknowledge their mistake and hopefully apologise, even try to fix the issue.

      If someone is being completely disrespectful towards me and shows no interest in caring about anything I do or say, but I have to work with this person, they are getting the silent treatment. I don't care if you call it "mental torture", because none of the other paths have worked. And I am talking about a situation where you have tried reason, discussion and diplomacy. Even changed your behaviour to suit this person. If none of that works, I am just not gonna be talking to them.

    Silent treatment is a very complex one, I often get accused of doing it, but generally that's only because the argument has heated up to the point where no good outcome can be achieved for either of us. Sometimes you just have to walk away because you may be getting too heated and fear you'll say something you don't mean or simply because there is no room for logic and reason left.

      Definitely one of the best ways to avoid being perceived as trying to manipulate someone with silence is to make sure you announce that you need to take a moment.
      People deal with arguments and problems differently, and you will likely end up in situations where one person wants to solve everything right away while the other knows if they keep talking things will end up worse due to their growing anger or whatever.
      Communication of intent is important in these situations, even though it might be very difficult.

    how to defend yourself in my opinion:
    gaslighting -> stop talking with them
    guilt tripping -> be cold hearted
    isolation -> keep contacts with other friends and mostly family, family usually loves unconditionally
    love bombing -> understand that you are still deserving of love but learn how to be alone on your own
    playing the victim -> prove them wrong or stop the communication
    threats -> be brave and always have a backup plan, backup fund etc...
    the silent treatment -> respect yourself by not contacting them and when they comeback talking to you tell them you are sick of this bullshits and this is not love
    ghosting -> respect the deeds and be more silent than them
    shaming -> work on yourself to better than who shames you in every field of life, don't kill em with kindness, torture them with fkin success
    triangulation -> if they bring someone else in your relationship, simply go away
    aggressive jokes -> be calm, maintain lucidity, if you can come out with a better aggressive joke as a comeback
    emotional blackmail -> learn to be on your own, so your feelings doesn't depend on someone else
    projection or deflection -> tell em they are not serious enough to have responsibilities and then go away
    smear campaigns -> prove them wrong with a well constructed opinion with valid proofs
    shifting the goalpost -> if it's at work just fire yourself and find a better place with better a boss
    changing the subject -> be aware of what are you talking about and shift the conversation only to that topic
    playing on insecurities -> open up only with 100% trusted people, not the other ones, and when they play on your insecurities, point it out and then go away or play on theirs
    fake moralization -> show em all their mistakes and bad behaviours, or show it to the other ones. demystify all their good actions.

As someone who had been called out as manipulative by someone he really loved and genuinely not understood what he did, this has been pretty helpful in identifying what behaviours I had used and brought up some good questions about why I was being so manipulative in the first place (I have had a fear of loneliness that I haven’t overcome for a long period of time that I only just finished with). My desperation turned me into something awful, and I’m happy that I can move forward having become someone better than who I was.

But his new teacher manipulates him (played by J.Jonah Jameson, the actor for JJ from spider man) into destroying his own life and his personal connections so he can be “one of the greats”.

    isolation is much more dangerous that youd think. i had a friend who did everything in his power to make sure i stayed on facetime with him 24/7, and staying away from my family. he got pissed when i told him i had to go eat, telling me that i should just bring my meal to my room, he would get pissed when i had to go to bed, and when i told him that i was going to spend time with my family. along with many other manipulation tactics described in this video, years on, his actions still affect me to this day- i am terrified to leave messages unopened because back then, it meant that i would be screamed at by him.

    For the aggressive jokes, it does depend on the person. My sister makes them and I make them to her and we both genuinely joke and with my low self worth(caused by some exs) she makes sure I know she's joking and it would be annoying but I know she cares, and I try to do the same to her.

    • @ego4

      I think aggressive jokes is only a tactic if once confronted they throw it back to you about not liking their humor, and can lead to them shaming you for not "speaking up about it earlier" when they were making jokes before.

    I used to have a friend with a huge ego, and was addicted to drugs, when we went out he would always say agressive jokes and have passive agressive behavior. Yet he didnt have a lot of confidence, i asked him plenty of times if he went to therapy, yet he said he always finished therapy cuz "He was too self aware" I honest didnt believe him one bit, he was always very unstable, sometimes when i couldn't hang out or told him that i was busy he would ghost me, even once we had a huge fight because he was saying "I use him for money" yet i always said i didnt have any money for eating or going out, yet he would offer to buy me stuff, then complain. Once i confronted him and he said he would hurt himself if i left him, then after that i knew he was a manipulative person i had to get away, so i did thankfully. Dont ignore the signs people!

    • @uhhhum
      @uhhhum 2 місяці тому +8

      somewhat a connection I drew upon to this comment :
      I recently had met this person (a guy) a couple a months ago who had a fight with this girl (a friend), and he started talking about a situation he had with them. He said how his friend was important to him, he almost even liked her, he said he felt bad because she didn't have money nor received any from her family sometimes, to eat outside, so he would usually invite her or she would ask him. He started saying how she probably only used him for money because she would constantly ask him to buy her (certain food) but at the same time she would constantly get mad at him, argue, or ghost him frequently out of nowhere. It might not be the same person, but it is interesting to hear the different perspectives, because through his perspective he really just gave me this narrative of a spoiled or manipulative person (ab the girl) yet I have no context of the reality and I don't even know him that well either, because it was like the second time we talked. I hate to think that we can agree or believe what others say about others when we ourselves don't know the truth for ourselves.
      Your perspective makes me think about the other side of the coin which I hate that back then I simply agreed with him on the matter.
      But I've learned a lot about people and the failure of assumption and internal bias so I don't think the same way I used to.
      I also had my guard up with this person so I never really believe all his narration, and I simply took it as an anecdote , but I never forgot the anecdote.

    • @carlosdot
      @carlosdot 2 місяці тому +2

      I had a similar thing happen to me recently, if a person says that they’ll hurt themselves if you leave them, just leave them because that is probably the most manipulative type of person you can meet and it isn’t worth it to be around them. If you’re in doubt about them being manipulative look out for signs, really it’s not worth it and I’d much rather had left that friend earlier than I did.

  • @fruitymario3742
    @fruitymario3742 3 місяці тому +121

    My ex is SUPER guilty of the playing the victim one. One example is she was sickly for around a year and she couldn't get a job and she felt sad that she couldn't help support us, so i had to apologize for that and if it ended there, that wouldn't be an issue, but she rejected several work from home positions or just didn't continue with the interview process because she felt it didn't pay enough and she cried because of that and i had to cheer her up and tell her it's okay even though it would've at least been better to have made some money rather than none. I don't think it was intentional, but she often did things repeatedly that would cause her harm and then expect others to give her sympathy kind of like that meme where a guy puts a stick in his bike wheel spokes while riding it and falls over in pain. It's hard not to eventually be like "Yeah, you kinda brought this on yourself" after she did the same shit like 10 times in a row.

Even afterwards, they used my friends to reach out to me just to accuse and blame me, along with ask me to stop certain things I hadn’t done. I still feel at fault sometimes, and it hurts to know I was used in such a way. I miss them.

    • @X96300
      @X96300 2 місяці тому +5

      Damn, I was in that same situation a couple of months ago, but a bit different (she used 6/19 tactics)
      Although after a week of ending the friendship as if it was all my fault even after I apologized for my behavior, she unblocked me and addressed it was really her who was wrong and I wasn't guilty.
      She didn't apologize tho, but that sped up the healing process since I was slowly noticing it wasn't completely my fault (I played the silent treatment when insulted, really immature so I'm not free of sins haha). I decided to forgive her but also end the friendship there from my part too.
      Anyway, my point is...If you can recognize manipulative tactics on that relationships, you don't need to feel guilt or remorse for trying to stand up for yourself, after all, you are the most important person in your life (dont take this in a narcissistic way please) And I know it hurts to be used in such ways, but you need to accept what happened to move on. Accepting doesn't mean to approve or justify it, just embrace what happened to learn from it. The unknown can be scary because there's always going to be someone trying to hurt or control you, but there will also always be kindness.
      But remember it's better to break the cycle and learn to be the best version of yourself rather to make others "pay" for your suffering as a symbolic revenge

    im a person who gets manipulated easily/all the time and these r the tactics ppl have successfully held against me
    guilttriping and shaming: i was constantly reminded abt my past behavior, even though i was over it. it wasn't rlly guilttriping or shaming, but it was very annoying
    isolation: my sister told me my parents were evil and manipulative to me. i sorta believed her bc i had poor relationship w parents. my parents are currently in trouble w the law bc of my sis, who told me my parents were LOVE BOMBING, GASLITING and INFANTILIZING me. it was done to manipulate me, my parents aren't evil
    projecting and Playing victim: when she told me my parents were evil, i told my parents what she said. she blames me for what i did and plays victim, added to all the times i was rude and aggressive 2 her. she also played victim by acting like a victim of my parents "evilness" so i could copy her, part of isolation
    playing on insecurities: my sister notices how socially weak and anxious i am and plays on my weakness by demanding everything her way bc i can't defend myself.
    threats and smear campaigns: i was in a group chat in middle school and ~20 kids were bullying me. they used threats and smear campaigns all over me
    that's 11 mentioned here out of 19 in the video, wow. another thing, i told my school counselor about my sister manipulating me abt parents being evil (isolation) and my counselor told me she was RIGHT. LIKE WTF mark my words these people don't deserve trust, like don't make me turn my back at my parents again, dumb botch.
    all that being said, there are personal experiences of me gettin manipulated. i hope these events don't happen to you, and BE CAREFUL when you think someone try to manipulate you 😊 😊
