STOP GUILT TRIPS & EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION / the psychology behind manipulative people

STOP GUILT TRIPS & EMOTIONAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL MANIPULATION and manipulative people who try to make you feel guilty...how to NEVER feel guilty again! This video is all about guilt trips - what they are, how to spot them and identify them, as well as techniques to help you stop being emotionally manipulated.

It is important to learn how to identify when others are using this technique so that we can respond appropriately and not suffer from psycological abuse. Today we talk about effective strategies for dealing with guilt trippers, and how to set effective boundaries. I truly hope you find it healing and helpful!

Guilt tripping is the lowest form of manipulation there ever was.

[donaldcornwell]

I lived through this with both parents after a divorce. I go totally ballistic and re-assert my boundaries right away regardless of who it is. I do not tolerate this in any form and I view it as a form of abuse. I don't get violent but I do confront it directly and make it known in no uncertain terms that I have no place in my life for anyone that uses these tactics even if it is a parent. Zero tolerance. This is like torture and you don't need to take it. It doesn't bother me one bit to cut someone out of my life, regardless of how they are related if they use these tactics. This game is dangerous. Refuse to play it. Anyone that uses these tactics, has no real honest concern for you. Better understand this upfront and accept the loss of that person in your inner circle.

This is the video that made me realise I am not a bad person. I have been exposed to so many guilt trips back to back, blamed and shamed.
This video gave me a chance to look at things in a neutral manner.

We should set emotional bounderies so that we won't be manipulated by other people.
It's important to be assertive 💪
Another excellent video!

Guilt trips can cause so much harm to individuals. It’s so horrible to see it happen. Definitely resonated with what you said and appreciate you making this video Nena. Thank you and hope you’re having a wonderful week! ☺️

[michellecox]

The problem is when you are a child and don't know about boundaries or how to protect yourself against these types of attacks, you just adapt to it. In my case I created distance because I was so tired of feeling like I was not enough. Much later in life I realized what was going on because of my effort to find out why I felt the way I did. But I still keep myself distant because I simply don't want to feel like I have to put up a shield every time I am in the presence of this person. I understand what's going on but sometimes I just want to scream "Shut the F up"!

Thank you for saying guilt tripping is emotional abuse.🙏

[DragonTamer]

I got dumped by a guilt tripper recently, and I didn’t even realize they were guilt tripping me, but looking back they were for the majority of the relationship. They blamed me for starting fights when I was trying my hardest to avoid them, and they got upset at me after a particularly bad one (where they downright said they knew they hurt me yet forced me to apologize before they would even consider it) when I told them I didn’t fully trust them emotionally, and essentially said “relationships need trust, if you can’t trust me that’s a huge issue because you should trust me.” Honestly I don’t think they were/are aware of what they were doing, but were so self absorbed emotionally that they hardly considered mine in any disagreement, which absolutely hurts to think about because I know they aren’t a bad person at heart. Them leaving me (even if it was for some incredibly selfish and minor reasons compared to everything they did to me) was the best thing they ever did for me, and I’m on the road to recovery

my "Mother" always guilt trips me 24/7 along with the victim mentality. No Longer Is ANYBODY going to guilt trip me due to this video. Much Thanks🙏🏾🌍

[BBFCCO]

I lived most of my life feeling guilty because other people made me feel wrong for my views and simply wanting to live my life. People use guilt to get ahead and have their own way. I'm trying to stick to my guns at this point when someone makes me feel guilty but it takes work because I need to tell myself that I have a right to be happy and clear minded.

[HarryThomasPictures]

Such a great topic wonderful Nena, I hate it when others try to make you feel guilty and bring you down when you know you've done nothing wrong and others are getting mad over nothing. I wish those who guilt trip people would think before they react and realise hurting somebody else's feelings is unnecessary. Sending good and warm vibes to you, huge love and hugs❤❤❤✨!

[MoveInSilence]

Good stuff as usual Nena.
This sort of thing is destructive, guilt trips. Always seems to be the setup for an abusive relationship.

[huiyang-ewnn]

My mom is always trying to make me feel guilty. And I feel that I do not deserve any good things, if I'm happy, then I am a bad person. If I feel happy, then I betrayed my parents. It's so terrible. I keep making myself a "good" person and continuously correct my behavior according to some "rules", horrible.

[rachaelcharlesvoiceovertal]

This video turned my frown upside down, I literally didn’t sleep last night because of a guilt trip someone close to me was talking me on. Feeling like I’m selfish and a bad person. !! Really, thank you

[roseb]

Thank you so much for making this, Nena! The point about wishing it wasn't sneaky so you could stand up to it spoke to me. I was manipulated this way for so long that as soon as I realized what it truly was, I still felt powerless against it. I will try the 'I' statement strategy! Lovely video and congrats on almost 4, 000! subscribers!

Reverse psychology, it happens all the time, i feel under pressure, in distress because these people around me guilt trip me to get what they want and make me feel stupid or dumb trying to help their ungrateful needs when it's never enough for them, i'm a compassionate person and when people take the mick out of me i begin to feel a sense of loss, failure, rejection when i can't comply and i try to do things for myself to help myself, these kind of people won't let me, and hence the neverending cycle of emotional distress, bipolar, PTSD, I'm erratic, encetric, i can't focus and fix myself or my fratured mind when others around me are vultures and these people won't care when I'm dead when i un-alive myself and I'm not in the picture to help them yet they are the ones who push me to the brink of this situation of destruction 😢😢 i cannot cope anymore

[xaviercarr]

Dealt with this and still dealing with it now in my relationship when I want out. I get guilt tripped into staying and doing what she wants.. this helps me a lot thank you.

[anubiswerelupe]

I get guilt-tripped no matter what I do.
Guilt-tripped if I do something or if I don't do something. Many times on the exact same issue.
I get stuck where I am guilted no matter what I do.

[gaybot]

Thank you so much for this. When I was younger I was so sure that I was abusive, because every little thing I did was considered disrespectful, and when I talked about it, I got the biggest guilt trips of my life.
