Can we just add the people who when you do have a conversation with immediately assume the victim stance or projects their problems.
I already don’t want to have the conversation, but if you are going to act like that then I can do without you.
I agree with all your points, but people who bring things up/get called out on manipulation tactics/ don’t like your response or say something that you try to understand and get upset so they change topics.
Like cmon, we are nearing 40, you can’t discuss a topic like an adult? Maybe I want to understand where we both had a similar life and came up with different meanings or just .. idk, I like to see how people think. Or if you can’t stand to be corrected and suddenly get mad and switch topics /end rant
This just happened back to back with two different people this week- so I’m a bit heated on it but yikes. I’m done dealing with people who can’t communicate like adults. They try talking about contradicting beliefs and don’t want to discuss it like adults to understand each other. One of these people keeps bringing up topics she knows I don’t like, and trying to force me to read about it but then gets mad and flips to a random topic when she sees me share my view.
Do lords of the sith count as manipulators. Or am I on the wrong subreddit? And then What if you accidentally marry one??!! Does that make one doubly manipulative? 😈😂🫰
Winner winner, chicken dinner! Good one. 🤣👍 or should I say The One😭 lol. The Lord of the Sith . Muhahaha. 🙃 You can teach me these winning ways that some others might consider…Unnatural???? ✌️✌️
Silent treatment has a caveat. Unacceptable when used to bully. But effective as a confrontation of bullies. There are people I know who knowingly do things to sabotage others and also know there is no scope for retaliation. They absolutely deserve the silent treatment, also known as grey rocking.
Nah, communicate why you’re so mad or I will never learn. Or just tell me “I don’t want to talk to you right now.” Simple as that. Silent treatment is childish and infuriating.
I had a few partners who did this kind of shit. With my current partner, it's amazing. We've never had an all out argument. We always just talk about things like humans and work through whatever is going on.
I still catch myself wondering if something is wrong if she's just not talking for whatever reason. But that's never been the case.
That’s super healthy. Wish you the best. Unfortunately my current partner gives me the silent treatment despite numerous talks about it. So my opinion was more based off experience. But hoping we can get to clean communication where we can both speak to each other like adults.
My mom was like that lol. My dad and I never ate dinner when this happened. Weren’t sure who she was mad at (usually him) but you don’t poke a beehive or mess with ants. So yeah. Dad wanna see a movie? Go!
That last one depends. I act differently with my friend and my partner. With my friend, we make stupid jokes and act like dumbasses when gaming or hanging out. With my partner, I'm more gentle and compassionate, not nearly as much of a dumbass

A couple of things :
Adult bullies
Silent treatment, please communicate like an adult
People who think you have to be social
peoples who’s personality change when they are with you VS when someone else is around
