3 Ways To Tell if You’re Being Emotionally Manipulated
Translate This Page
If you are reading this right now, then chances are you have been manipulated by someone at some point in your life. There is also a good chance you are being manipulated right now. Teachers, co-workers, relationship partners, friends, and family are usually the ones who end up manipulating us because we feel as though we can trust them. Because we feel like we can trust them, we open ourselves up to persuasion, manipulation, and being emotionally abused by them.
If we want to avoid being manipulated, the first thing you have to do is recognize that you are in fact being manipulated. All this really requires is self-honesty and the willingness to admit to ourselves that we are being taken advantage of. Once you recognize the problem, you can begin to fix it. Here are 3 ways to avoid being manipulated and what you can do if you suspect someone is manipulating you:
1. Don’t be scared to say “No” or be selfish
Something I have just recently learned is how to love myself enough to say “no”. Not just “no”, but “hell no” and “absolutely not”. When you get into the habit of being a people-pleaser because you think it is greater to make other people happy at all costs, you deny yourself your own happiness. When you do this, you adopt a vibration that is compatible with being on the receiving end of manipulation.
Being energetically predisposed to saying “yes” all the time actually opens you up to being manipulated. You are actually energetically consenting to attracting a manipulator in your life since your vibration is already aligned with the vibration self-denial and low self-esteem. You attract what you need to evolve, and if you are too afraid to say “no” or give yourself permission to be selfish once in a while, you are going to give off the smell of weakness.
