4 Signs You're Being Manipulated

These are 4 signs you're being manipulated:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. They might dismiss your problems and play up their own with things like,
Oh, you think you've got it bad? Try being me.

4. Playing the victim role, they refused 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.
