What does real manipulation looks like?
So, recently in my friend circle a formal friend of mine told the rest of the group in the group chat about her relationship and how her guy can go without talking with her for days, like without a hi, just straight up ignore and post stories and stuff, it's been 5 months for her relationship and one of my other friend told that yeah, he's just manipulating you into thinking that he loves you but in reality you are just one of his side chicks... So I want to know what does REAL manipulation looks like? I know about emotional manipulation and other stuff but how can you know that you are falling into their trap???
