Today on the "I care about you" podcast we talk about the red flags and signs that you are in a manipulative relationship. How do you tell if it is just normal human behavior or over the top? What signs do you see in your interactions and what do you see in yourself that can tip you off? We also discuss why people are overly manipulative and a few things you can do if you find yourself in a relationship that isn't serving you. I talk about a manipulative relationship I escaped and questions I have about a friendship that may be manipulative. #manipulation #toxicrelationships #manipulating #badrelationship #emotions #gaslighting #truthfulness There may be some triggers in this podcast so take care of yourself.
