You know that sick feeling in your gut when you're talking to someone and nothing you do feels right. You feel boxed in. Cornered. Like you're walking on eggshells constantly. That's emotional manipulation. And it's happening to you more than you think. I've been studying psychology because it ties directly into my work with insider threats and cyber security. Human behavior plays pivotal roles in everything we do. And some people use these psychological tactics to control others. Today I'm calling out four major signs of emotional manipulation so you can recognize them and fight back. Here's the reality. Once you recognize these patterns it becomes your responsibility to change them. Don't expect the manipulator to change. You have to set the boundaries. You have to say "I'm not okay with this. I prefer to talk through this. Don't hold me in my past. I'm living in the present now." And sometimes you might have to change that person completely if they won't respect your boundaries. Stop accepting emotional manipulation. You deserve better than that sick feeling in your gut. You deserve relationships where trust is given freely. Where communication happens openly. Where your past stays in the past where it belongs.
