The Manipulation Shield

How to Spot Dark Psychology, Reclaim Your Reality, and Build Unshakable Emotional Strength What if the most dangerous game you've ever played is one you never agreed to join? You lie awake at 3 AM, replaying the conversation for the hundredth time. You started it feeling hurt, but you ended it feeling… crazy. They sighed, their voice dripping with disappointment. "I can't believe you're being so sensitive. You know how stressed I am. If you really loved me, you'd understand. Honestly, your neediness is exhausting." In a matter of seconds, your reality was twisted, your feelings were weaponized against you, and you were left scrambling to apologize for your own pain. This isn't a simple argument. This is psychological warfare. And you are the battlefield.
