Psychological Manipulation
THE GUILT TRIP
A guilt trip involves induced feelings of
guilt or responsibility, mostly unjustified, which are stirred up by the manipulator. Guilt-tripping behaviors are commonly experienced in close relationships, like romantic, friendly, professional, and familial relationships.
Someone Trying To Guilt-Trip You May:
Bring to your attention their own hard work and efforts, making you feel like you've failed to meet their standards.
• Use sarcasm and passive-aggressive behavior to react to situations. • Ignore your attempts to discuss the problem
• Give you the silent treatment.
• Deny they are annoyed, although their behavior says otherwise • Show no eagerness to improve the situation themselves.
. Communicate their irritation with you through their body language, like a sign, cross arms, and slam objects [and the eye-rolling] DR. MELANIE CABRERA, PSY
