I'm so glad people are becoming aware. These kind of relationships can ruin your sense of reality. Look for signs of anger when you confront them with their abusive behavior, and a feeling something is not right.

I was in a relationship with someone exactly like this. they ruined my life and almost cost me it too. people like this do not change and have no limit to what they'll do to you. please be safe out there, know your worth.

"Manipulative people want control over your life and don't truly care about or love you"
Man this hits hard when you know the people in question are your parents

3:39 - Constantly lying to keep someone interested in you and in staying in a relationship with you is called _”future faking.”_

Sign 1: They give you free diamonds in Minecraft but they steal them back afterwards

[carolinesona]

I'm happy that I left those toxic people who actually tried to manipulate me
The moment I walk away they no longer have power over on me

[irfanbattlestar]

Whenever someone tries to compliment me falsely and excessively, it feels very nauseating...

This video helped me to get out of a toxic "friendship" roughly one year ago.
I was suffering a lot in there, but this video opened my eyes to the emotional abuse I faced but didn't want to see back then.
Thank you so much for making this video.

2. He change his behaviour very often
3. He always lies.

I was in a relationship like this for so long. Until one day I woke up, I realized in the end, friendship was even manipulation. I'll remember to be careful around those who cant let go of there past as well.

i've been really really sad because my almost 4 year relationship ended 3 days ago, but seeing these signs and checking ALL of them makes me believe it was for the best even if it hurts now, I couldn't keep doing that to myself. I deserve better.

The last guy I dated first started by telling me I was “hotter than his ex” and then started doing stuff around my apartment just because he expected me to do stuff for HIM at his house. Then he even make a fake scenario trying to make me jealous and purposely talked about other girls and told me he WANTED to make me jealous. He also gas lighted me before and made rude comments claiming they were jokes. Never again will I date someone like that!

[Poopysoup]

Me and my partner always send eachother these and we tell eachother we’re glad we’re not like this.

[snakeywakey]

That moment when you dont even trust honest people

[nickaiser]

A guy did this to me trying to fool me that he loves me. I played back. 😎 being one step ahead and informed of these things is powerful.

[cherbear]

This was a good one and very true, I just ditched someone who was playing several mind games with me, and he still tried to play more games even when I said I'm not interested please leave me alone smh these kind of people make me sick, but now that I'm older and wiser it's a hell of alot easier to see through and drop it b4 it even starts... like no thank u
