Non gender , not just women : Signs of manipulation

6 Common Manipulation Tactics Some Women Use to Control Men

Manipulation can subtly erode trust in any relationship. While both men and women can engage in such behavior, this article highlights six common but effective tactics some women may use to control men. Understanding these tactics helps everyone recognize and address toxic relationships, fostering healthier, more respectful connections.

  1. Emotional Blackmail:

Emotional blackmail is one of the most insidious forms of manipulation. It involves using guilt, fear, and obligation to control someone. For example, a woman might say, “If you loved me, you would do this for me,” or “I can’t believe you would hurt me like this.” These statements can make you feel responsible for her happiness or distress, leading you to comply with her demands to avoid guilt or fear of losing her.

  1. Gaslighting:

Gaslighting is a psychological tactic where the manipulator makes you doubt your own perceptions and reality. A woman using this tactic might deny events that you clearly remember, twist facts, or accuse you of being overly sensitive or paranoid. Over time, this can erode your self-confidence and make you more dependent on her version of reality, giving her more control over you.

  1. Playing the Victim:

Playing the victim is a manipulation tactic where someone portrays themselves as helpless or wronged to gain sympathy and control. A woman might exaggerate or fabricate stories of how others have mistreated her to elicit your pity and support. This can make you feel compelled to protect and care for her, often at the expense of your own needs and boundaries.

  1. The Silent Treatment:

The silent treatment involves refusing to communicate or acknowledge your presence as a form of punishment. When a woman uses this tactic, she creates a power imbalance by making you desperate for her attention and approval. This can lead you to apologize or concede to her demands, even if you’re not at fault, just to end the uncomfortable silence and restore communication.

  1. Triangulation:

Triangulation is a tactic where a woman brings a third party into your relationship to create jealousy, competition, or insecurity. She might flirt with someone else, talk about another person’s interest in her, or compare you unfavorably to others. This can make you feel inadequate and drive you to go to great lengths to win her approval and keep her attention focused on you.

  1. Withholding Affection:

Withholding affection is when a woman deliberately denies you love, attention, or physical intimacy to punish you or get her way. By withdrawing affection, she creates a sense of emotional deprivation that can make you more compliant to her wishes. This tactic exploits your natural desire for closeness and approval, making you more likely to submit to her demands to regain her affection.

Understanding these subtle manipulation tactics is crucial for maintaining healthy and balanced relationships. By recognizing these behaviors, you can protect yourself from being controlled and ensure that your relationships are built on mutual respect and genuine affection. Remember, a strong relationship thrives on trust, honesty, and open communication. Stay aware, set boundaries, and always prioritize your well-being.

Fear

“As an energetically-sensitive empath, I spent the majority of my childhood confusing my personal feelings with the experiences of others. It was common for me to believe I wasn’t liked or “good enough”, since the emotional discord I sensed in others was interpreted as their opinion of me.

This led me to always trying to cheer people up, hoping to improve their opinion of me. While spending many years in “vibrational co-dependency”, it became common to identify with the patterns of fear woven throughout the collective, as if I had fears of my own. Whether it was the fear of rejection, the fear of not measuring up, the fear of abandonment, the fear of my own personal power, I spent many years getting to know fear as a daunting teacher of higher learning. Even though I’ve been divinely guided by my intuitive connection to the Universe, I was never spared of learning all that I came to know for the benefit of every heart I am here to serve.

My intuition didn’t spare me a moment of fear. It merely pointed my attention toward evidence and possibilities that became the insights that evolved my consciousness. I didn’t overcome fear through a bold declaration. Instead, I spent so much of my upbringing in fear that it eventually had no power over me. I was simply too curious of each “what if” to ever remain frozen in victimhood. I began to see that fearing an outcome didn’t determine whether or not it occurred.

99% of everything I’ve ever feared never came true. Even the things I feared that did occur – never usually happened in as scary or painful of a way as I was convinced would play out. Even when something scary I thought would happen actually came to be, life moved me forward in a direction that was somehow better than however things were before.

No matter how entrenched I was in believing how anything was bound to occur, my thoughts and commitment to believing in worst case scenarios never brought any of it to life.

I began to see how each outcome was bound to occur in a way that was governed by a higher force of reality. Since that force was alive, conscious, and intelligent, I honored it with value, which allowed me to see from a very early age that everything happens to create greater value in our journeys of growth.

I didn’t always like what happened, but I was never without a deeper knowing that it’s happening for my benefit, whether or not I knew what each benefit was.

Over the years, fears would orbit my field on a more infrequent basis. It began feeling like reuniting with a precocious long-lost friend, instead of the source of my pain. Each time it came around, I knew it would leave me stronger and more rooted in clarity than before, whether I bought into each fearful possibility or watched it pass.

As I evolved, I learned how to sense other people’s experiences without making it into ideas about me. This prepared me to hone my intuitive skills in service to humanity through the offering of my heart-centered teachings.

While I credit my curiosity to moving me out of the grip of fear by playing out each horrific vision until it all dissolved into light, I equally honor fear for cultivating my deepest humility and respect for the gift of life, no matter how characters act or whatever comes to be.

May we join together as a community of heart-centered consciousness to honor fear as a daunting and relentless catalyst of evolution that activates our greatest strengths and infinite depths of courage, simply by enduring and surviving life’s most intimidating uncertainties.

Rather than viewing fear as the opposite of love, may we aim our love to all the parts in ourselves steeping in fear, as a way of reclaiming our personal power and developing the worthiness to shine our light brightly. As always, the parts in ourselves that receive more loving attention help to unravel the unconscious programs throughout the collective for the wellbeing and liberation of all.

Dearest fear, I spent most of my childhood in your presence and I believed each and every frightening possibility you expressed until I saw the perfection of destiny that our personal will can claim, but cannot alter or deny. Thank you for helping my love to become as unconditional as possible, as I dared to support and embrace the one who either waited for bad things to happen or good things to go. Thank you for introducing me to my deepest vulnerabilities, as my core strength instead of my deepest weakness.

Thank you for showing me that no matter what happens, life always expands in better ways and everything always works out, whether anyone believes it or not. I have no interest in pushing you away, but I sense that your mission is to return to the love you feel separate from, which is why you are always rooted in worrisome perspectives.

As life’s eternal liberator that you have helped me realize that I AM, I free you from the plight of your own victimhood and offer you permission to return home to the light of your highest truth. Thank you for every gift you’ve ever offered me. I set you free.

Perhaps this moment reminds us how the mastery of fully embodied awakened consciousness has nothing to do with how often we fear, but how instinctively we respond with love to whatever arises. It’s never a matter of loving the situations you are in or the conduct of any character, but embracing the vulnerabilities, worries, pain, doubts, and conflicts that each moment inspires in you.

Whatever arises, love that part of you who has a right to feel and think exactly as you do.

Whatever arises, love that. You are that. That is what you are.” – Matt Kahn ❤️

Remain in your heart

Many have worked hard on self inquiry and this is now being mirrored in the global scene as we have been experiencing for quite awhile a collective splitting and re-orientation and re-bonding of a new global psyche. It is taking shape.

The old world is not only dividing but each world is taking its own unique position.

We are ushering in it’s entrance and it’s building momentum of pioneering consciousness of many, who as they are opening their hearts they are opening the door to a new more heartfelt way of living.

We are separating from all the entanglements that would continue to invite us back into hostility and just a survivalist way of operating.

The way of an old world is dying we can no longer place ourselves there just as the old way of operating cannot merge with the new until it heals. They just natural reject one another like two opposing magnets.

What motivated us once now no longer holds any resonance and what we once couldn’t see now is in our focus with intense clarity.

A whole new orientation is here, downloaded for us to make manifest.

Cosmic shake up, every 2 years 7/15 Electrifying sudden change ⚖️🎊

There is no doubt that the third dimensional world of separation is coming to a head.

At times it can be very hard to witness the evil in the world, but in truth it must come to the surface for all to see, for all to heal and transform this illusion we have all been living.

Many of us never realized we would witness such disgrace and disharmony in the world, as the planets continue to align in ways that only happen every 13,000 to 26,000 years, we will see much more of this as many continue to project their emotions outward on others

This is why we are here dear ones, to not only witness this but to turn it around, shake things up so more can awaken to the deceptive spell we have all been under.

It truly is a heart wrenching experience, especially for those of us who only live in a state of Oneness, Love all, Harm None.

We must continue to allow it all to play out with forgiveness in our hearts, it is the only way to bring unity back to this world of chaos.

In my visions way beyond 2012, I knew this was coming, my grandmother knew, my brother knew, and it is really beginning to show how out of balance humanity is.

It is a must to bring it all to a balanced state as we continue working with the energies around us, rather it be by service to others, loving all unconditionally and most of all to have the heart to forgive all the wrongs that have been done on this world.

All anger does is continue to keep humanity in a state of fear, fear of what is to come, fear of the unknown and fear of their own Soul.

One must be willing to dig deeper within one’s self and find that Christ light we have all been born with. Yet was removed from us by false teachings, programs and spells that we have allowed ourselves to be under.

It is time to Rise, Children of the Sun, rise in the Light of Truth and give your love so profoundly that the energies of this planet will have no choice but to shift the hearts of those who want Peace and Unity in the World.

To see how related we are to one another, no matter color, greed, religion or country.

We all have the same planet in common because we all live upon it and the tyranny must end and we must realize that there is no side to choose but Love for one another.

Really don’t want my granddaughter growing up in a world of madness of who is right, who is wrong, including the political unrest that continues around the world

I see many Star Children stepping up and changing this, they are not politicians, they are divine healers, and we will witness how they can shift all this as we help them with our Love for each other as one divine family.

We must continue to Pray, Meditate and bring ourselves to balance with it all, to see no one as your enemy but as family.

No matter how far they go, or how chaotic it may become rest in the arms of your loving heart dear ones because it truly is the only way to shift the entire consciousness on this planet.

May we all live in Peace and Love one another as the divine souls we are and let go of the hate and fear that is left within us.

We are rising Children of the Sun into the Light of truth, and our love grows ever stronger. 🙏

So. it is. ❤ ~ Mary Long

Tips to leave a cult

This is not a drill.

Deprogramming someone from a cult can be a complex and sensitive process. Here are some general steps that might help guide the process:

  1. Educate Yourself: Learn as much as you can about the specific cult, its beliefs, practices, and the methods it uses to control its members.
  2. Build Trust and Maintain Contact: Try to maintain a positive relationship with the person. Avoid criticizing their beliefs directly as it may push them further away. Show genuine care and concern.
  3. Encourage Critical Thinking: Gently encourage the person to think critically about their beliefs. Ask open-ended questions that might prompt them to reconsider certain aspects of the cult’s doctrine.
  4. Provide Emotional Support: Cult members often feel isolated from friends and family. Providing a support system can help them feel more secure when considering leaving.
  5. Create Cognitive Dissonance: Introduce information that contradicts the cult’s teachings. This can create cognitive dissonance which might lead them to question their involvement.
  6. Professional Help: Seek assistance from professionals who have experience in dealing with cult deprogramming. This could include psychologists, counselors, or organizations specializing in cult recovery.
  7. Safe Environment: If the person decides to leave the cult, ensure they have a safe environment where they can recover and re-adjust to life outside the cult.

Always approach the situation with sensitivity, as the process can be emotionally and psychologically challenging.
