This is my family and friends and when i tell people my parents are close with they don't see my point of view they don't see them as bad neglectful people, but look at their own parents or my friends parents i mention and compare mine to theirs and say their parents are much worse than mine. They're right about one thing my mom does work very hard for me at school and she cooks and she does the laundry but my parents don't spend time with me like normal parents. When i go to my friend's house's the only thing they do is hug each other like every 10 minutes and say they love each other. When i talk with my friends about my toxic friends they say that's why parents are important because they're a source you can go to for help if only my mom wasn't overly dramatic especially when it's about my childhood if only my dad actually had empathy for anything. Instead he moans about his past when something good happens to me and says I'm lucky. The last time i was hugged by my mom was a few months ago. The only thing they do is work my dad is always doing business papers and my mom is even more busy than she used to be because she's a teacher now. He doesn't understand a child needs affection and bonding with their parents even if it's just for a little bit, and my parents rarely give me any of that. They don't even let me go outside. The only time i actually stepped outside on public transportation was with my bff. I'm 18 i think I'm capable of taking care of myself by now. The only time my parents and i actually have fun is when they take me out to dinner or we have movie night. Most of the time i have to ask my mom to take me places as i said my parents rules are don't go outside it's dangerous and blah blah blah. My friend is like, I'm not trying to make this seem like a normal thing im just trying to see if you're thinking of things as big as they're supposed to be that's exact what he's doing just because a lot of parents don't meet their child's emotional needs like mine doesn't mean it's not abuse.

Actually I wanted to share one of my many experiences with my mother. I got a job after my college (because of her recommendation) and I liked that job actually. After two months, one day the manager asked me to stay late at the evening and he said he wanted me to complete some 'his' important task( which he has to do by himself). This is usual for almost all freshers ( managers use this trick to harass the freshers). But I was hard for him. Mine was a clear NO.
I had narrated the whole story to my mother as soon I reached home. She started to guilt trip me as though I had done something wrong. Not only that. Guess what_______
She even scared me saying that I am going to lose my job tomorrow. Because I said a clear no to the manager. I was scared that night. i tried to act courage. I was in my early 20 and I had no former experience in any other company. so I had no idea what would happen tomorrow. Later i resigned for myself from that job.
Years later i now know my mother was manipulative in her behaviour. She had got that job for me by her recommendation for herself. But instead of standing beside me on that day she said I was wrong by saying a No to the manager. If I had said a yes on that day, the manager would have made me a slave for the rest of my life.
What shocked me was she told me like I was going to get a termination letter for the next day. She was trying to keep my next day WORSER by doing this

I used to live with my aunt and 2 cousins. They were narcissists. Always yelling, controlling, nosey, abusive, and very manipulative. I lived with them for 12 years. My dad used to do the same thing. They all drained the hell out of me. Never realized what they were doing at first. Years and years later, I found out what they are. I wish I knew sooner. My aunt and dad passed, but I sure don't want to see my cousins ever again. Now I have mental and health problems. I have C-PTSD, OCD, and childhood trauma. I suffered for so long. They were so toxic for me. As a broken INFJ, I am now very suspicious, quiet, and have trust issues. I don't have friends. Just myself. I have a hard time letting people in. I have back pain and severe neuropathy. And also chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia. I'm also having financial problems. I want to seek help, but I can't afford it. So, hanging around toxic people for so long, can be hazardous to your health. Mentally and physically. But I'm still hanging in there.

The empathetic side of me says maybe im overreacting and logic says i felt alive and full of energy until i interacted with my this person, then it felt like all my happiness was slowly sucked out. Why would i be researching manipulation and emotional abuse if siad person or people weren emotionally abusive and manipulative. Its gotten to the point where i cant live properly, not enough dopamine/ emotional energy because it all gets spent dealing with them.

my father passed awhile back and im watching this because ive finally got the courage to cut off my mom. im terrified at the idea of having no parents but at this point im the parent to her. she has bullied me and smacked me around so much she is using me. Dont let anyone make you feel that way. Relationships of any kind shouldnt be 50/50 its 100/100. Dont try harder for someone else that wouldnt go out of their way to make you feel as loved and secure.

Something worthy of note here I believe the majority of folks who watch this well done video, are trying to label somebody in your life, a potential manipulator, So this is where the focus goes. I would probably start with yourself, put the focus on you. Are you the manipulator? As I think, knowing youre a manipulator is better than knowing somebody else is a manipulator. So you can begin to learn how to cut that shit out!

From my experience being the youngest. I couldnt fight back so I had to use others around me to get leverage to get what I wanted. Getting older I honed these skills and I realize its a great weapon but a great tool at the same time. Yes it is terrible but its becomes second nature since it starts from an early age.

I have noticed this manipulative behavior being used in today's culture by Leftist ideologies. Guilt against a group of people for another group of people, lies to make certain groups angry, making other groups of people feel like the victim, etc. What's going on in today's American culture is clearly textbook.

My mother and relatives are manipulative, I dunno if I can be sure about it because firstly my mother manipulated my emotions when I was a kid and made me hate my relatives. Secondly my relatives praise me soo much that I end up following or doing everything they tell. I hope I can fix it myself

I actually didn't believe that my own sister was a master manipulator in her company until I went in there to work for her. Two other managers there were pretty much the same kind of people. I didn't manage to last more than 3 months surviving the manipulation there.

This easily describes my ex. I told him that I was struggling with issues at work, and Ive happily listened to him in the past. He instead decided to go out for the day and enjoy himself at a park and pub. Posting it on his FB for friends to see. But not me.

Thus why we need to physically discipline people when this behavior surfaces. If a person knows that if they will be disciplined in a way that ACTUALLY effects them personally when they do this to others, it would stop.
