    I just realized that im toxic when i punched my bestfriend to cry. And remember i’ve been gaslighting her and manipulating her this whole time, and I regret it. She trust me so much with my opinions and input, she always ask me about everything cs she thought im always smart and my decisions is always the best. Most of the time i was right, cs she always sad with everything and im trying to make the decision but sometimes I didn’t realize how deep i am into controlling her . I hate myself when i just realize im the toxic friend. Now we have this awkward feeling towards each other from the day we fight and i feel like an asshole cs i remember i yelled at her crying “stop playing victim” , when i realized she’s always the victim to put up with my heartless self. I thought i always do the right thing to keep reminding her stop being too emotional with everything, I didn’t realize that im the one who’s very far into being emotionless. For some reason i always think abt our friendship but i cant cry AT ALL. Wtf is wrong with me 😞

    Same here, I’ve noticed a friend of mine seems to have a controlling personality and even seems to try to word his manipulation so that in his mind it’s acceptable or testing it in some form that tries to make it seem okay. The part that I’m careful of is how to distance myself without triggering their toxic personality traits, I have told them secrets that could have a major negative impact on my life and I don’t want them trying to use that against me. However to me it seems much better to face the consequences than to have a person that drains the positivity out of your personal space.

The fact that you left this comment already says you've got some self-awareness. True "manipulators", as the quote says, wouldn't question themselves and therefore wouldn't have replied to this quote like you did.

I hope when I go back to work, things will be different now that he’s gone but I worry his reputation stands while mine remains tarnished because of him.

    sometimes they also dont take the blame in a more subtle way like "i dont know, but it's proven to etc etc". they add in convincing facts to the conversation to make it seem like they weren't wrong and you should rethink what you just said because you're most likely the wrong one here. for example: context= someone got late because of the manipulator * manipulator does something else to cause their prey to be late, thus making a mistake. prey finished up on time and manipulator was causing the delay * 3rd person: look at the time! prey is late because of you (manipulator)! manipulator: oh, sorry. I was only doing something else because I was waiting for prey to finish up. Prey: * gets guilty because they think they're the ones who caused them to be late * sorry about that. i'm gonna hurry up next time. * manipulator gets their way and ends up making someone else apologize for their sake *

My therapist helped me realize how manipulative she was, especially after an incident that I wasn't in the wrong for, but I apologized and my ex-friend said, "I'm sorry YOU felt that way." My therapist was pissed, and told me that I needed to get away. A few straws later, and we were no longer friends, and now she still tries to spread rumors about me and my partner. A mutual friend of ours told us last week that she was trying to get info on us and told him that she had heard that my partner and I broke up. lol. She's a scumbag.

    It’s truly remarkable the work the manipulator will put into having control over a human being. I had a friend who would always vouch that they were “empathetic” kind, and always a morally sound human who cared deeply about people, the planet, animals etc but now in hindsight I can obviously see when I was being manipulated & bullied through the inter workings of the gossiping & the lying, I was convinced that I was the problem, the finger of blame was always directed towards me and I gladly would take the blame or admit to fault even when it was so clearly not, but Strangely enough I never questioned the abuser just myself. I doubted myself in every aspect I truly started to believe the deception and lies and I eventually started to listen to the lies. I felt so bad about myself & who I was I didn’t feel good enough to be around anybody, I stopped caring about any one else’s opinion of me “including my own” and only cared if the manipulator was happy. Manipulation can take form in many ways & shapes but my best advice for handling manipulation is, trust your gut, trust yourself, and get some space/ perspective from this person if at all possible. It took me going to therapy to realize I was even being manipulated at all, and I’m so glad I was able to stop the madness before I myself went insane! Charming, likable, calm, & collected is exactly what came to my mind when I first met this person. DONT ignore the red flags, if something makes you uncomfortable call it out immediately. Also towards the end of the friendship I just went along with whatever she said & acted completely un phased. And again don’t be afraid to speak up for yourself, if they won’t show you remorse for making you feel bad run far far away!!

I know after being in therapy for a long time this incredible a-ha moment in life struck! I was told "people treat us the way we allow them to treat us .". If something is really bothering me I hold it in for a long time so I am afraid of confrontation to a degree. I am like this to people I really care about! If I don't know someone well I think I am more apt to say what is bothering me.

    Remember that you always have the right to say 'NO'. You deserve to have boundaries. Whoever doesn't respect them, it's something that you don't have to deal with, it's their problem. If you don't feel safe around someone, you have the right stay away from them. Manipulative people often have a toxic *aura which makes you feel sick and unsafe around them. Listen to your gut feeling. Edit: *I'm not a native speaker of English. By aura, I meant vibes, nothing else. I did't want to refer to the word 'aura' used in phsyics or in alternative medicine.

    I've been friends with her for two years but decided to cut her off. I ignored my gut feeling, decided to see good in her because I thought we all have toxic traits (which is true) but manipulation is when she brings up my insecurities around my friends, using destructive criticism, gaslighting (tried to blame me for confronting her with "lol you're too sensitive, my male friends don't do this they are smooth"), most days she's very mean and passive-aggressive, other days she's nice to me. About 2 weeks ago, I dedicated an entire day just to help her with something, skipping a party I was invited to, to support her all day. I got sick, depressed, and anxious the next day from all her negativity and gossip but it was until I told her "no today I can't help u" that she turned into this cold-hearted mean person again. I had an anxiety attack and decided enough is enough! Although I feel guilty about it, deep inside I know I didn't lose a real friend.

    STORYTIME: I met a girl named Hanna a few months back who acted very sweet around me and my existing friends. She was quite a bit older than any of us (I'm 23, most of my friends are 19, and she's 32) but we're all pretty nice and so accepted her into the friend group despite the age gap. Hanna said she was naturally pretty touchy-feely so it was normal if she stroked your arm or gave extra long hugs or whatever. I was a little uncomfortable with it, but she said she did it to everyone so whatever. Pretty soon, though, I noticed she was only really doing it to me and my other guy friend Ethan (we're both relatively good-looking). Additionally, no matter what activity we planned, even if it was only a small subsection of our friend group, Hanna ALWAYS found a way of being there. Even when she wasn't invited. Meanwhile her physical affection towards me increased, and my nice butt, rather than confronting her directly, tried to give physical signs that I was uncomfortable such as not making eye contact with her and shifting around a lot. About a week ago, we had a movie night at my house, and during the movie she literally moved my arm around her and then snuggled in close. The only reason I didn't slap her away was I didn't want to embarrass her in front of my friends and make a scene. I was super uncomfortable but let her get away with it. At some of my friends' request, I sent her a lengthy text explaining how I was uncomfortable with her behavior towards me, I only liked her as a friend, and I politely requested she only give hello or goodbye hugs like most of my friends do. She seemed to take it alright, admitted to having had a crush on me, and promised to give me more space going forward. Little did I know what had been going on behind the scenes. It turns out Hanna is selfish, dramatic, and manipulative. She had been CONSTANTLY texting and calling Ethan and guilt-tripping him whenever he didn't respond in a timely fashion. She would complain to him about the adult drama in her life (the kid's only 19) and use him as a way to find out about all our activities. She also told him about her crush on me, and no joke, told him in excessive detail how she was going to fly out and visit me at college when I go back in a couple months and "make a long-distance relationship work" (not once considering if I actually liked her back). Not only that, but Ethan once confronted her about how her touchy-feelyness was making me uncomfortable and she blew up at him, saying he didn't know anything about our "relationship". So she had known all along how I felt about her physical advances but chose to intensify her attacks instead. She had also been manipulating my other friends into hanging out with her so she could complain about her life to them too, with varying degrees of success. Now all my friends agree she's not only a drama queen, but a high-key predator preying on the kindness of dudes much younger than her. We're all fed up with her manipulative behavior and have refused to play her games anymore. She seemed to take the hint and stopped coming to our hangouts. We still see her at church sometimes (that's how we all met) but avoid her like the plague, and it seems she's already moved on to preying on other young dudes for attention and favors. Whenever I get a chance I warn those guys to steer clear. This was my first encounter with someone truly manipulative, and dang is she good at hiding it under a sweet facade.

    Signs you are being manipulated include: (1) feeling confused by the behavior of another person, and feeling more confused after trying to get your confusion cleared; (2) when interacting with another person, noticing you often feel fear, obligation, or guilt. Respect your gut instinct. And read The Gift of Fear by Gavin DeBecker.

    I’ve been manipulated by a family member for years. They accused me of being manipulative until I felt like I couldn’t know who I was. I started doubting my own sanity. Whenever I reacted to their behaviour they played the victim in front of everyone so I was always seen as the crazy one or the one who’s starting arguments. They took advantage of the fact that I was depressed to prove that they’re the kind hearted. I used to feel like my head was foggy, I couldn’t differentiate between truth and lies. Luckily some people had my side and helped me open my eyes to see their hypocrisy. Until now They still believe they’re the victim but I laugh at them how they need help. People really be lying and believing their own lies.

When you walk in, when you are secure, when you have peace, when they are miserable and need a 'ragegoat' to pawn off their evil, very insecure conscience onto, they spew their vitriol onto you. You are NOT what your brain, or what your thoughts are telling you right now Rev. Maybe they are trying to get you to look in the mirror. Do it. Do it and smile. They're betting hell on you seeing shame and turning away for good. The sorry thing for them is, evil has NOT overcome good, and without hell, there would be no need for warriors, for taking the high road, for believing, for ultimate, satisfying victory. You're on the bloddy beach head right now, taking more enemy fire than you even knew existed, you haven't conquered the city yet, but the city is already conquered. The conqueror is waiting for you on victory road, where He'll calmly display all your haters and enemies before you, to see that you prevailed, that you haven't lashed out, they haven't moved you off course, and THEN you're going to see venom, but they'll be defeated and pathetic, awash in their own rage as you stride on, still up, still breathing, still treating people right. Don't go down, don't entertain their pathetic evil. Hang tight with that conquueror, He is in the city in glory but His spirit is with you where you are right now in the hellfire on the beach head. If you need to call out for help, do so constantly, if you don't know His name, that's ONE thing i can help you with in this pressing hour. It is Messiah, Jesus Christ, your Creator, the Creator of your bullies, the Lover of Justice and the HATER of evil. Stick with him, get your sleep, and i will bet the house and the farm that you will prevail and conquer. God is for you if you'll seek His help. God Bless You tonight Rev. Please post any updates to let us know you're alright as weeks pass. -Joseph

    I'm scared of being "stupid" because of my mom. She always called me one since I was like...three for the littlest mistakes I do as a kid. She always compared me to other kids who are smart enough in school, but I was not because I was a shy kid. When I grew older and we transferred to a different place, I changed a bit and grew competitive..like badly competitive. When I get satisfied with my grades, she always say that it's not enough. So I got worse until I even throw hate on other students that I get threatened to. Until now, i'm still scared of that word. That word scarred me. I feel like i'm stupid when I do the littlest mistakes, I panic and try to conceal it as much as I can. I grew more distant to her..I mean, other than that we're pretty cool u know? But I didn't have the same intimate relationship with her like other daughters have with their moms. Like, telling your little secrets, insecurities....well, my IQ and my EQ is my biggest insecurity- which she inflicted to me. I felt lonelier as an only child then. and..until now...I still feel like I can't be good at anything else than academics so I still get competitive- but it's not as bad as before because i've quite matured. People gotta say i'm smart but little did they know that's mybiggest insecurity.

She never cared about our kids. She’d slip money to her other grandchildren right in front of us. She was a true narcissist. My dad once apologized for the way I was treated. He wasn’t much better.

Its even worse for insicure or competetive person , wich I am . Because drawing is so , so personal . But the secret to be at least happier when drawing is to apriciate every piece of progress that YOU made and then about other people progress . (Sorry form grammar mistakes , im from Slovakia and English launguage is very , very diffrent so Its kinda hard for me to write properly) Also I never thought I would made drawing sound like epic development wich it kinda is , well at least for me :)

Look up the likes of "Happy Bunny" and understand that somebody out there is making a FORTUNE on it!!! For some of us, it's not even a matter of who's the "Best". It's whether it's really worth my time to do it, or more worth the money for someone else to do it, so I can do whatever else I'd rather be doing at the time. In visual arts, you just find your niche and fill it... fill it like a BOSS. ;o)

    I always watch this kind of video to see how many of the signs/traits I have. Because some definitions can be broad or vague I usually end up suspecting I am (in this case) manipulative but usually I end up seeing them in the people around me as well.

    The art style is just so perfect, for the visually impaired the subtitles and the expressions as well as actions of the characters are so easy to decipher. A big thank you for rising to the plate of making these videos for others. I hope that your kindness is returned by the world and those you have helped.

    I've been dealing with a manipulative roommate/"best friend" for a couple of years and I gotta say, most, if not all the boxes have been checked for manipulation. I've really been unwise, but I'm not allowing them to trespass any further into my life. This friendship has cost me all other friendships, which indicates that this person is no friend at all. Detaching has been challenging, I try so hard to be there and be someone others can rely on, but it has taken so much out of me. I'm so tired of always rushing to undo the daily crises and picking up all the slack. It took me way too long to see it for what it was, and the hooks were in very deep. I have been detaching for a few months and I'm walking away from it to get my peace of mind back, and to move forward in my own life. Do not overextend yourselves, friends. It's good to be kind, but it does make you a target, so be firm, too.

    The wonderful things about life …. Is that you don’t have to be like your mother. You have the power to make the right decisions and be a positive, blooming person. Speaking from experience it will always be a part of you but, you don’t have to let it control you.

    Being a recovering addict(2 years sober), I used the majority of these signs and I realize this. I’m thankfully that I’m not this bad anymore, but I do catch myself using manipulation to this day, and I hate that I’m like this. Hopefully it gets better in time

    The fact that you recognize your need to improve is a good start, and your willingness to admit it is commendable.
