Manipulation (Mainly Relationships) You Should Recognize

[A Former User]

@casually-finneas well “we shouldn’t talk about this now” and “I don’t remember that happening” can be used in many different scenarios, and I think it’s important that while yes it CAN be manipulative, generalizing it in the title and topic point isn’t that good. My girlfriend tells me “we shouldn’t talk about this now-” to tell me when she isn’t okay and can’t handle something. OR, I say “I don’t remember that happening” when I genuinely don’t remember a point she’s brought up. Not all of these are manipulative and I can see that they can be very very vague. Also, it’s not bad to tell someone or your partner when they’re genuinely overreacting about something, and I think that response should not be painted to be rude and belittling.

@Vampire-Prince-Cyx Though I do very much agree with most of your statements on what sounds manipulative and what sentences are very belittling, derogetory and weird or iffy

@casually-finneas I agree the same

@Vampire-Prince-Cyx not entirely disagreeing with you or arguing, just giving insight

@Vampire-Prince-Cyx yeah most of the ones that can be taken both ways are off the psychology website so not me, but you still should think about those.

@casually-finneas I do agree though.

@casually-finneas I think psychology websites can be very misleading sometimes when it comes to these things with signs and all of that. But I definitely shall take these into consideration cause I’ve seen people get manipulated and used like this before.

[finn.in.outer.space.]

@Vampire-Prince-Cyx yeah but some of them can DEFINITELY go both ways

@casually-finneas oh yeah definitely

@casually-finneas Very true.
