6 terribly manipulative sentences you can hear from someone

Usually, master of manipulation tactics are abusers. They make you question the feelings, thoughts, security and even the reality in which you live. Something like this can happen to us all if we let him fall prey to him or sentences that he/she says. The sentences below are the most manipulative phrases you'll ever hear from someone, so resist.

1. "This never happened"

They'll say something like that with such a certainty that you're going to start questioning everything you know. You won't trust yourself anymore, but the version of reality created by him/her.

2. "You're very sensitive"

If you express your pain or disappointment, an abusive partner will tell you this sentence. They'll want to minimize your sensations by screwing you up and making you realize you're exaggerating it. In the same second you'll feel almost stupid and get mad at yourself why you're like this. It's just a manipulator's trap, there's nothing wrong with sensitivity.

3. "You're crazy. I don't say it, everybody says it."

This makes the person face to doubt his mental health. The manipulator uses it to his advantage simply to intimilate and weaken the victim. By generalising his opinion with everyone, it makes you think there's something wrong with you.

4. "You have a terribly bad memory."

We all have our moments of oblivion, but don't fall prey to this sentence when it comes from a manipulator. It's just going to keep you under control.
5. "I'm sorry if you think I hurt
you"

For them this is called a apology, but it's not like that. It's another way to take responsibility away from yourself and to fatiate you.

6. "You should have known how I would react"

The most terrible manipulative sentence. It makes the victim think he should know more and above all not take the other person (the manipulator) to that point. Next time you hear this sentence, not only should you not believe it and reflect, but remove the man who says it within minutes.
