Do you feel that you are being manipulated by the partner in your relationship? Such manipulation is common from romantic relationships to professional relationships. A manipulation is simply distorting the facts as a reality or truth so that you do what the other person wants you to do. The manipulation squeezes your emotions and leaves you high and dry. At the end of the day, you feel exhausted.
It is often carried out by slowly pushing you to look for the validation of the other person, and constantly pushing you to the wall. Demand from you in terms of physical labor and emotionally hard work increases. No matter how much you try, the other person never appears to be happy.
In a healthy relationship, we exchange stories, observations, intellect, emotions. We do not end up questioning each other. This is therefore important for you to at times know if you are getting manipulated constantly by someone.
