Number 3: “What else do you want from me?”
Translation: I am doing nothing for you, not even the basic things that I, as a partner or a parent, am expected to do. I have to turn it around and portray you as ungrateful, so that you feel guilty and stop asking. I want you to do everything, earn, cook, clean, and coordinate, but I need to take credit for it. After all, my presence in your life has made you so efficient. What were you without me? Instead of asking me to do more or to put in more effort, you should sell me and never complain.

Number 4: “There are people dying to have me in their life. Don’t think you’re any special.”
Translation: There are other people that I have manipulated into believing that I am a very sweet, charming, kind, caring, and compassionate person. I am triangulating you very covertly, so that you try and give more. I am threatening you to make you feel insecure and think I’m in demand when I’m the most lonely person you will ever find. Nobody is dying to be with me, they just like the mask of normalcy I wear in front of them. If they were to see my real side, they would run to the hills.

Number 5: “Stop acting like a victim. Stop having a party. I am the victim here. I’m the one who was impacted.”
Translation: In each and every experience that I have had with you, I see myself as a victim. Why? Because you don’t comply and obey enough. You don’t let me have control the way I want to, and that makes me hate you. How dare you call yourself the victim? Man, it is me! Clearly, you’re making it hard for me to play with you like a toy, to treat you however I want to. Stop that drama already.
