You think you're "just hurt" but you're being manipulative.

Hey kids this is a “how to stop manipulating people without realizing it” video. I think manipulation is mostly presented as something only calculated, dishonest, or intentionally controlling people do. But sometimes it’s much more subtle than that. And a lot of people don't realize it Sometimes you’re genuinely hurt. You genuinely need reassurance. You genuinely want someone to understand you. But instead of asking directly, you use guilt, silence, pressure, or your emotions to influence their decision. Your need can be completely valid while the way you communicate it is still unhealthy. So I hope this video helps you notice the difference between expressing how you feel and using how you feel to control someone else’s choices. Because emotional maturity is not having fewer emotions. It’s learning to communicate your needs without making other people pay for having choices. And if this video makes you realize there are patterns you don’t fully understand, you can go to https://nor3mak.com/ to book a one-on-one session with me so we can break them down together. Also, yes—the podcast is coming soon. A lot of you have been asking :) Feel free to leave a comment because I love to talk! I’m also taking suggestions for future “how to” videos. #manipulation #selfawareness #emotionalintelligence #relationships #personalgrowth Chapters: 00:00 - You’ve manipulated people before 01:02 - Guilt 02:29 - Withdrawal 05:43 - Pressure 07:40 - When emotions become manipulation 08:20 - The framework/Summary 08:38 - Final thoughts & Byeeee
