I read the following statement in a narcissistic abuse recovery group I’m in and it was the most accurate thing I’ve read:
“He’s not outright mean, but every interaction with him is unpleasant.”
What a lot of people don’t realize is that it doesn’t need to be super intense for it to count as abuse. It’s a lot more petty than you think.
The thing about manipulation is that it’s a lot of small things that add up to big things.
Manipulation can be incredibly petty.
What do I mean by that?
It could be something as small as eating your favorite snack that you bought for yourself. While on the outside it seems like it’s no big deal, it’s meant to. The things they do are done to make sure that you’re not comfortable. This could also be a form of reactive abuse. They do these little things hoping they can get you to freak out so it makes you look like you’re crazy.
