i'm a psychologist and here's four signs you're being manipulated number one they undermine you relentlessly or get you right where it hurts with a very personal attack and then follow up with something like i'm just saying don't overreact not just once but repeatedly over time number two they do things for you maybe even things you didn't even ask for and then use that as currency to get you to do what they want you to do so every act of kindness seems to have strings attached number three they might dismiss your problems and play up their
own with things like oh you think you've got it bad try being me number four playing the victim role they refuse to take responsibility for themselves and then ask you to do things for them that you wouldn't normally say yes to if you thought they could do it for themselves [Music]
