The Positivity Xperience

How They Control You With Guilt & 'Fake Caring' Are you falling for it every time?


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like someone twists your words to make you the problem? Or maybe they guilt-trip you with, "After everything I've done for you…" Or act "concerned" just to control your choices? These aren't just frustrating behaviors—these are psychological manipulation tactics designed to make you doubt yourself, feel guilty, and stay compliant.

In this episode of The Positivity Xperience, we're breaking down:

🔹 Why manipulators twist your words (the psychology of control, guilt, and projection).

🔹 The 5 most common manipulation scripts: the Guilt-Tripper, the Score Keeper, and the Fake Concern Manipulator, Victim Card-Manipulator and Martyr Manipulator.

🔹 How to spot the patterns—before you get trapped in them.

🔹 Science-backed insights on why you feel guilty, why it works on your brain, and how to retrain your responses.

🔹 Scripts you can use immediately to shut down manipulation without guilt or over-explaining.

✨ You'll walk away with real-life examples, actionable tools, and mindset shifts that will help you set stronger boundaries, stop second-guessing yourself, and protect your peace.

If you've ever been gaslighted, guilt-tripped, or manipulated by "fake concern," this episode will arm you with the knowledge and confidence to break free.
