How to handle manipulative person?

[Anonymous]

i WOULD LOVE to hear from YOUR side of story and experiences. How you ended up getting manipulated and how you figure out and how you break free/why you are still stuck in it.

As easy as saying “leave them”, real truth is, its not that easy.
Like, its an endless cycle. You already being manipulated, and you confront them, and you are well aware the response they gave is a form of manipulation. You are well aware and acknowledge it.
But somehow your mind is still haywire from all the chaos. Like one after another

Don’t react to their manipulations or mind games. Try to just remain stoic, cold and distant. Don’t even bother confronting them because they’re just gonna twist it and you‘ll end up in a deeper hole. You’d also need a support system to help you see things clearly, if you’re being gaslit, you’ll need another person’s objective point of view so that you can see the reality of the situation.

“Dont even bother confronting them” That is indeed true, and i realise it when it is too late💔 cuz im the type of person that like to confront whenever something happen, or else i feel like i won't have the proper closure that im seek for.
But doing that with people like them, is indeed lead me to an endless cycle :’)

You really have a good points, thanks

I feel you, I’m also like you. I always feel the need to talk it out and explain myself, but that just makes you an easy prey to manipulators :’)

Good luck and stay strong, just gotta practice detachment!

The book Boundaries changed my life. I would recommend it to anyone who’s being manipulated, gaslit, or otherwise manipulated. 😊
