Not hypervigilance. That just exhausts you.

Most people believe manipulation is loud. A raised voice. A veiled threat. Coercion you can see coming from a mile away. psicologia oscura moore

So today, stop asking, "Are they being manipulative?" Start asking, "Do I feel smaller after every interaction with them?" Not hypervigilance

It works because you assume others operate with your moral framework. You assume if someone says "I love you," they mean what you mean by love. You assume tears mean remorse. "Are they being manipulative?" Start asking

And that – not the yelling, not the threat – is the real prison.
