This Is How Manipulation Really Works
| What They Say: | What They Are Really Doing: |
| “I know I did this, but what about when you did that?” | Distracting you by shifting the blame on you. |
| “I know I did that, but trust me, I am not a bad person.” | Undermining and dismissing their mistakes by confusing and tricking you. |
| “What I am doing is perfectly normal. It’s you who is inexperienced!” | To demean you into complying with what they want you to do. |
| “I did that for you! Can’t you do this for me?” | Guilt and shame you into doing things you don’t want to do. |
