Excessive compliments: Constant praise to make the other person feel dependent.
Hot and cold: Alternate use of attention and indifference to create a sense of insecurity.
Emotional blackmail: Controlling the other person through emotional threats.
Quarantine policy: Keep the other person away from the social circle and increase dependence.
Firm borders: Be clear about your bottom line and do not allow any transgression.
Emotional autonomy: Recognize your own emotional power and not be easily manipulated by others.
Think critically: When you encounter sweet words, stay calm and analyze their motives and truthfulness.
Seek support: Discuss doubts in the relationship with relatives and friends to gain an objective perspective.
