NEVER FALL FOR MANIPULATORS ❌
Hello everyone and welcome to my blog at this hour. Manipulation is a technique used by people to distort the emotions of others so as to give room to influence their decisions and control them in order to get what they want. A manipulator is a person who knows your weak points and can go to any extent to use it against you. If the person succeeds each time they try to manipulate you, the manipulative acts will not stop until you take the bold step to discontinue it by standing your grounds. Well, sit back, relax and enjoy all that I have packaged for your reading pleasure.

Manipulation in a relationship can be hard to identify because it may have turned into an everyday norm. These behaviors may have started in a subtle manner and it has grown to be a part of the relationship that may not be easily noticeable. The major techniques used by a manipulator is gaslighting, lying, silent treatment and the likes, all in a bid to get into your head and make you believe what they tell you. You may end up apologizing for what they did to you or even pay for it dearly.
Let's take a look at these examples :
A - I will love to eat pizza and ice cream for dinner
B - I'd love to eat pizza and ice cream for dinner but I know you'd not buy it for me
A - My friends will like to visit me tomorrow
B - If not that you don't like my friends coming around they'd have love to visit tomorrow
A - Can you lend me some money till next week?
B - It's obvious that you don't care about me, you'd have known that I need some money
It is obvious in the lines above that A is an healthy form of conversation and it clearly states the demands of the speaker while B is a manipulative way to damage the confidence, self-esteem and mental stability of the other person. Speaker B uses words that will make the other person feel guilty for not doing what they want.
Most times people manipulate as a way of not taking full responsibility of their actions or even to punish or take control of the other person. Let's take for instance, a woman that does not want to work to earn her own money will play on the emotions of a man to get her needs satisfied. She can use words like "But, if you love me as much as you say it you'd buy me my dream car". Due to the fact that the man doesn't want to lose her or make her sad he will make her wish come to pass.
It is important that you are careful around someone who is always threatening and using force to demand you to do certain things. This is an obvious sign of emotional manipulation. For example, if your boss threaten to sack you because you didn't agree to do what he wants. In a romantic relationship, a manipulative partner who has done something wrong may try to threaten to hurt themselves if you don't give in to their needs.

They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.
They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?
