2. They try to manipulate you.
It may be that you are not only seeing signs that someone has bad intentions towards you, but it feels like they are always trying to change you and mold you into someone they want you to be. Rather than letting you be who you are inside and exhibit your own personality. That is when you know you are not only dealing with signs someone has bad intentions, but they are actively trying to harm you through manipulation!
Manipulators are generally the most harmful people we will meet in this life when it comes to being abused mentally and verbally. They will not try to harm you physically, but they will erode your self-worth and confidence, make you feel like you are not all there because they keep controlling the narrative and gaslighting you, and you will be dependent on them. They do not see you as a person but rather as a pawn in their game or, even worse, someone to use to achieve their ends.
If you are already on the fence about the signs and you catch them trying to change the narrative or convince you otherwise of things you know are certain, they are trying to manipulate you!
Keep in mind that this is just one of the signs someone has bad intentions toward you, and they could be manipulating you in all sorts of ways. This could be someone you trust, like a spouse, family member, or trusted friend, so make sure you know all the signs of manipulation. The Dark Psychology and Manipulation book from Amazon is less than $11, and it can help you spot the signs and learn a way to protect yourself from them!

Ive had this done to me. I was told I was too emotional and even childish. Now I admit I am not perfect and I have my troubles. But I tried and I tried hard to appease the other person. I did what I needed to do never asked for anything and tried to stay out of their way. But that was never enough. He complained that all I was doing was raising his bills. It was such a hurtful situation to be in. Constantly belittled and told to suck it up. He even told me that his words should not alter my emotions. I was told to do better..I was drained emotionally and afraid.
My neighbor gives me a creepy feeling. He can be nice to others, but not to me. I personally feel, my gut feeling, is that he feels threatened by me, because I am independent, and I don’t have a problem standing up for myself. He knows I have been widowed for many years. He is a bully, and Bullys his girlfriend. He has 2 distinct different personalities that I recognize. I choose to avoid him and have little to no conversations with him. I don’t care for his Negativity. I feel it, and refuse to be a part of his ways.
My husband has forgets what hes done and lies about small things.
my husband sometimes makes jokes about me belittle me. I stay away from him and do house work and cook.and web browsing. He never does any chores without me asking him. I even have to ask him to take the garbage out. Don’t understand why he doesn’t know it needs out every day.
Hello, I am a hairdresser and am keenly aware of people’s energies and body language. As such, I have had to learn to guard myself from psychic “vampires”. I look for and try to detect passive aggressive behavior, lying or fibbing and verbal abuse/ gaslighting. It’s exhausting physically, and emotionally. I hope that people in general can learn to be more open for asking for what they need so as not to have to turn to these maneuvers/ behaviors. That’s all I’ve got.
This is a person that I let stay in my home. These tare the things that he has tried on me. Even the gas lighting. God knows. I’m just glad that he is gone early before I get up and doesn’t come back till late at night. So I’m not around him that much. On the weekends he has his kids here but he usually takes them somewhere and is gone mostly
But I want him out so I’m trusting God that He will help me
I have been scammed by a man that said he was in the military and on a mission, but he hadn’t been paid yet, so would I send $25 to feed his dog that he took on the mission, so I sent it.
Then he asked for $100 to feed his dog and him for a week, I sent an Apple Card each time, but I call Apple and told them what was going on, they said it was a scam, thankfully I saved cards and receipts, the did shut him down and give my money back.
If the card was bought in the USA it can’t be used in another country, and is not used for food! I have given all the information to the authorities and they are going to take care of him!
When someone at the gym tells you about your body, not really a compliment.
Then makes a comment regarding a statement you said and they then walk away.

if you walk with the wise you will become wise. but if you have dealings with the stupid ones you will fare badly.
bad associactions can corrupt. you can act like them. avoid harmful people as much as you can. avoid arguments that make things worse.be patient. be kind. be a caring person. phillipians chapter 4 verse 8 mentions what we should be. good advice for every one. any one a opposed to this would be foolish. even a non bible person can appreciate this great advice. read the scripture and see for yourself how good it is.
Yes I’m have been talking with someone. I feel he’s a scammer. Yes I love him. I have not met him. Yes I have given him money and now I feel I have lost everything. Every times he’s asked for money and I have given to him afterwards don’t feel right. I feel it wasn’t right. Thank you.
