Manipulation
I think we all use manipulation in some way or the other when we want something enough. Sometimes it’s very innocent and won’t hurt anyone. This type of manipulation is pretty common and really doesn’t matter to anyone except for yourself as to whether it worked or not! Most normal humans know where the line is an never cross it.
And then there are people that do cross the line and use some sort of manipulation to cause pain and wrecks peoples lives. These people don’t know there are lines and will do anything and everything to get what they want. No matter who gets on their path...even the ones the “love” the most.
Their version of love is distorted and cruel. It’s a form or control. An obsession to possess. And the victims of this behavior sometimes have been involved with it for years and years...so it’s hard for them to see all that is happening. Sometimes it’s hard for them to even see how much destruction is being caused. A true narcissist.
When you know that someone is being victimized by this type of behavior you have to tread very lightly as they have been made to believe all of the manipulations for so long, it will be hard for them to realize how wronged they have been. It’s best to show them in small doses...but more than this...so them what true friendship and love looks like. Because when they learn that...it’s easier to see when it’s wrong.
It’s best to completely disconnect from people that continually bring you down or try to keep chaos in your life. All interaction with them is like fuel for the train they are trying to run you over with....and even just a tiny drop can fuel them!
Show more love...teach people what it should look like...and pray they see.
Until tomorrow...
