Emotional Blackmailing
Emotional blackmailing is another form of manipulation used when a person makes someone feel guilty, fearful and obligated to do something for them. The blackmailer makes it seem like they aren’t trying to be manipulative and are doing you a favor or being reasonable or even helpful. If the person doesn’t oblige, the blackmailer responds by making them feel selfish, ungrateful, like they will be hurt if you don’t help them or like you will lose if you don’t do what they ask. We see this kind of behavior in so-called friends, family members or even coworkers.
