​

  • You feel like you have to walk on eggshells around them for fear of their reactions and responses
  • They guilt trip you to get what they want (yeah, aka the waterfall of fake tears )
  • They make you question your memory, emotions, beliefs, values, or decisions – which is a sign of gaslighting
  • They pressure you to do things by making veiled threats
  • They frequently play the victim (God forbit if it ever gets to legal system!!)
  • They purposefully do things with the intention of making you jealous
  • They withhold affection when they don’t get their way
  • They give you the silent treatment — otherwise known as “stonewalling” — during or after arguments
  • They take advantage of your insecurities or use them against you
