It is hard to detect that someone is manipulating you psychologically especially if you have been with them for a while.
It is even harder especially when you are in love. Manipulators are just selfish people, who use charming words that make you end up doing things to their advantage.
But how do you know that he/she is manipulating you?
Expert at everything
A psychological manipulator knows everything under the sun. Be assured that he or she knows that joint that serves the best-roasted meat, that funky hangout joint, and even car models.
Basically, whatever you want, a psychological manipulator will know about it, although it is often made up, just to shine the light on themselves. It is to their own best interest.
Resort to anger when confronted
It is a common tactic used by a manipulative person. Basically, they do not want to be corrected at all.
Once you bring up a bad habit of theirs, they detonate like a nuclear bomb. Their anger is a defensive tactic which will eventually lead to you avoiding the problem at hand.
Love sometimes makes you want to avoid conflicts, but we are not aware that this is psychological manipulation.
Makes you feel guilty
You’ve been in a relationship for quite a while now. It is quite evident that both of you have done each other favours, monetary or otherwise.
But one day, you ask something from him or her, which, unfortunately, they may not have because of priorities. As a psychological manipulator, the next course of action will be to manipulate your partner by telling him or her how you have done this and that for them.
You may even go as a far as telling them that nobody will ever stand by you as much as you have. It makes them feel guilty and may even move mountains to get you what you want. But then, you are just a psychological manipulator.
Pressure you into making decisions
Psychological manipulators work like those traders who tell you that you won’t ever get that thing anywhere else.
They go about listing glowing characteristics about the object, pressuring you to reach into your pocket. A manipulator works the same way.
