4 Signs you’re MANIPULATIVE without realizing it:

1. Jealousy drives you to do risky things.

You resort to passive-aggressive tactics.
For example, you notice some friends who are not with you.

• You are offended and invite another friend to go out with you.
• You take a ton of pictures and post them on social media for all to see.
• When you feel like you’re losing control of a situation, you create another one that you can control.

Consider picking up a new hobby.
Accept that not everything other people do is related to you.

2. You’re kind of a know-it-all.

• You have the feeling that people should listen to you since you’re the one who knows the most.
• People around you may feel as though they are suffocating due to your actions.
• You may have a persistent desire to put yourself first, which may cause others to perceive you as selfish.

3. You pour attention on someone, then withdraw it if they do something wrong.

• You avoid people after an argument to prove a point.
• The point is that you don’t need them, and if they want to make up, they should go to you first.
• You feel the need to be in control.
• It’s important to remember that no one is perfect, including you.

4. You are adamant about getting your way.

• You are being persuasive.
• In some cases, you may have to go to great lengths to obtain your desired outcome.
• Assume you want candy for everyone, but others wish to have chocolate. So, what do you do? You get rid of all the chocolate, so they don’t have a choice.
• If you ever catch yourself doing these things, stop, take a deep breath, and take a step back.
