JAKARTA - So people who often feel bad for others are sometimes difficult. Anxiety about your bad judgment in the eyes of others makes you someone who always says 'yes'. However, this attitude can make you easily manipulated by others, especially your partner.

For that, you must be alert and recognize the characteristics of a manipulative partner to avoid unhealthy relationships. Many say that love is blind, but that doesn't mean you have to give up everything. Not even a few people who lose themselves because of a partner who is often manipulative. Then, what are the characteristics?

Often Makes You Feel Guilty

This often happens in a relationship, when your partner often makes you feel guilty even for something you didn't do. They will always have an opening to make you think that everything that happens, especially bad things, is your fault. In the end, you have to give in and apologize to your partner.

Makes You the Responsible Party for His Emotions

In addition to often making you feel guilty, he will make you the party most responsible for his emotions. You have to do everything you can to make his emotions subside and this may lead your partner to take advantage of you. For that, stop blaming yourself and stop feeling responsible for everything.

Making Doubts About Yourself

Following every word that comes out of a manipulative partner can make you hesitate and eventually lose yourself. He will use your weakness, then repeatedly say that without his help, you can not be a better person. Then you will doubt and continue to depend on him and accept everything he says.

No Apologies

Another trait of a manipulative partner is that they never apologize. He will put his emotions first, hold you accountable and apologize first. They will also not care about your perceived needs and wants.
