Is there someone trying to manipulate you everytime you talk? They just got to have it their way, no matter what it takes. And maybe you are aware it's all manipulation, but you still can't help but get angry, and you wish you had a comeback for their manipulative tactics. Well, if you wanna stop that master manipulator once and for all, keep watching for some powerful comebacks.
0: 26 No:
You probably already heard the expression, No is a full sentence. Even though sometimes you wanna explain the reasons for rejecting someone, like when talking to a friend or a family member. You don't need to justify yourself to anyone, no matter how hard a manipulator tries to make you do things their way. You have the right to refuse to do anything you are not comfortable with. Don't be afraid to say no and turn away. They really aren't worhty of an explanation.
0: 57 I don't care about your opinion:
Manipulators usually take great pride in themselves and believe their opinions are the only right opinions, and they try to make you believe the same. And since they're the masters of manipulation, most of the time they manage to push those opinions on others. But when you tell them you don't care about their opinion, suddenly their tactics fail. They can't believe someone doesn't care about their cherished opinion. If you use this comeback, you might get a confused expression and a minute of silence.
1: 31 I feel sorry for you:
It's not uncommon for a manipulator to think they are superior, and they believe that everyone else thinks the same. They think you'll believe anything they say, simply because they're so great and important and they expect admiration. So, telling them you feel sorry for them could be quite shocking to them. Bonus points if you explain why you feel sorry for them. They're just a sad, lonely person trying desperately to convince themselves that others like them.
2: 02 I don't have time for this:
. because who does have time for being manipulated? Master manipulators feel the need to control and dominate everyone and everything, which also includes your time. They think they have the right to always be in your face with their tactics and demands. So, tell them straightforwardly that there are so many things that are more important for you than they are. Let them know you're not available and that you refuse to spend even one minute listening to what they have to say.
2: 32 Don't talk to me:
What better way to stop a manipulator than to not even engage in a conversation? Sometimes that can even be the only choice you're left with. Of course, this comeback may not work instantly. Even if you try to shut them down, they will probably continue their mind games. So, that's where you need to show them that you really mean it by walking away from them or simply ignoring them as if they're not there. This may seem petty at first, but your mental health and dignity is more important than their ego. Tell them you don't want them to talk to you, and after that, make you actions speak even louder.
3: 12 Saying those things to such a dominating personality can feel scary, and you might be afraid of their reaction and anger. But refusing to let them hold any power over you is the most important step to free yourself from their manipulative grasp. When you show them that you are not as weak as they think you are, they can't see you as their prey. So, take a stand for yourself and don't be afraid of anyone.

I will tell you my story, i co-founded a company with a covert narcissist, i thought at the beggining that he is friendly and is my friend. They manipulate you in ways that you can't imagine, they change you and i am not kidding.
After almost 6 years i figgured it out. Because i couldn't handle no more, the guilt, the gaslight etc.
I found my self in position to negotiate, and it has been a hell. Advices. take time for healing and understanding really well what you are dealing with.
Everybody thinks about the narcissist that is a such s good guy and he well make stories such you are the bad guy.
Accept that, start healing, be in no contact. Don t respond, don't defend.
When you negotiate they will be something like my way or highway it s also a manipulation. Please see fbi tactic negotiate with narcissist.
They have flaws, you can manipulate them, you can escape.
Be aware that he will try to keep the mask untill they die.
Break the cycle, be brave, manipulate them, don t think that you will change them.
Good luck with your journey!

this is like my friend, she lied to me about getting sick when i needed her. before that i was patient and gave her time but she didnt make an effort to help me. when i confronted her she told me that everyone makes mistakes, she said that i dont accept her her and she said everyone is imperfect. when i talk about my problems she tries to make it like a competion and i end up comforting her. she kust need ackowlegement. she didnt even say sorry. being mature is knowing someones boundaries and sometimes your actions can hurt them, dont make exuses for yourself. even if it was not your intention to hurt someone it doesnt mean that its okay to invalidate their feelings. try to make an effort to improve not change. its the mature thing to to

Manipulators will trigger our senses of right, of what is moral and our need to not cause anyone harm against us.
They do this by nitpicking our mistakes, inner or external flaws and lack of knowledge.
So they will make us submissive, and wrong and ashamed and feeling guilty - by turning the table and telling we are the ones who are toxic and we are the ones who are causing them pain and hurt - and we have to make amends by being subservient, silent and in the end taken advantage of.
I would rather focus on their accusations, which are false. Instead of getting hooked up to their unjust and unfair criticism - that we pinpoint their lies and expose them for being unrealistic and tyrannical.

Please make note that manipulative people also say these things as away to devalue and invalidate their victims, especially when a victim is trying to express their feelings or concerns to the manipulative person. All of these can be just as manipulative if used to make you feel uncared for, unheard, and rejected. Manipulative people love to toy with and reject others as well. Best advice is to have a healthy detachment towards everyone. That way if an unhealthy relationship occurs, you are mature and healthy enough to walk away without causing yourself or others significant harm.
Being spiteful, is just as manipulative and emotionally immature.
Food for thought!

I respectfully disagree. (That is something we can say. ) If we say we don't care about their opinion, we are learning to also be callous. Read a Restored-Name Scriptures. // Ask the Messiah to be your Savior. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of Hayah (Romans 3: 23. The wages for sin is death but the gift of ALaHYM is Everlasting Life through Messiah Yahushgh our Master (Romans 6: 23. That if you confess with your mouth the Master Yahushgh and believe in your heart that ALaHYM raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved ( Romans 10: 9. And He Himself is an Atoning Offering for our sins, and not for ours only but also for all the world (1John 2: 2.

my ex best friend and one of my nephews, I have not seen my ex best friend since 1999, truth is I don't miss her at all, I am glad she is no longer part of my life and my nephew he thinks that life, the universe or whatever you want to call it revolves around him, like he is the only one that suffers for example, I got so very angry with him recently that I have blocked him on my phone from texting me, I also never answer his calls either, I guess I am so tired of having to deal with this type of person, that I just stopped caring about how they feel and one more thing, thankyou psych2go for talking about this subject

The best thing to do is not to feed into their over-dramatization of things. Dont tell them what they want to here. Be straight forward and LOGICAL. A manipulator purposely exaggerates things so all the attention is on them. Be passive, dont feed into it, recognize its illogical and state the facts. And most importantly, do NOT give an emotional reaction. Show them that you dont care with actions and not words.

its suck when the narcissist is one of your family members, you cant really leave or cut them off easily. always preventing myself from having conversations with them and giving no big reactions to them but eventually a narcissist really lacks self awareness so they tend to become pushover and fail to realize and understand the situation. its hard out here

I use the I feel sorry for you one, but a little varied. I will use Im sorry someone hurt you when a person is being particularly rude, and also I find your behavior disappointing. Usually the two together sends manipulators running quick. Thing is, I genuinely feel both ways when talking to these people, so it isnt me being false in the slightest.

this one time I met this manipulator, they always wanted everything that I had. Always did what they felt like, little did they know that actions had consequences though. But to make a long story short, theyre currently serving jail time and Im cruising like a butterfly

Just a word of note. If you use this wrongly, you mind end up becoming the very enemy you wish to extinguish.
De-escalate the situation at best and never give your enemy exactly what they want. That is how you completely destroy your enemy.

I've always wanted good comebacks for manipulative people. however, would you mind on making a video of how to react to the silent treatment? My best friend does it all the time when I upset her or when I just stand up for myself. :(

Narcissism: abusing and weaponizing the abused one for their reaction.
Narcs are expert manipulators, empty vessels and thus, toxic leeches of your energy, money, gifts, values. An advise: leaving!
