Emotional Manipulation
Sometimes, most of our problems arise from being with people who try to prove that they know us better than ourselves, who manipulate us and make us believe in things. Knowing about emotional manipulation is crucial because it helps protect our mental and emotional well-being. Manipulative tactics, such as guilt-tripping, gaslighting, and passive-aggressiveness, can distort our perception and make us doubt ourselves. Recognizing these behaviors allows us to set boundaries and maintain healthy relationships. It also empowers us to support others who might be experiencing manipulation. https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/signs-of-emotional-manipulation/

Emotional manipulation can have such devastating effects on our mental health and wellbeing, it slowly wears you down and like you say - it does create a lot of self-doubt.
Sometimes it is so difficult to recognize the signs and red flags at an early stage.

@Heera72 Thank you for talking about a very important topic which is a major cause of mental health issues in people and so difficult to talk about by victims because of it not being easy to point out like physical and verbal abuse.
Emotional manipulation is rampant in my society, culture and I have seen even the smartest of people fall prey to it. Many times victims are themselves not aware that they are being emotionally manipulated.Self reflection, awareness, self-love and having atleast one trustworthy honest close person may help in keeping us safe from emotional manipulation.
