Some people are experts in laying the guilt on the other person.
Unless your standing strong in your shoes you may believe them.
I have a lot of common sense, for me to fall for this, you have to get up real early.

Nope, I used to be pretty good at laying guilt trips on myself, but I don't do that any more. But let someone else try it, I get really riled up!

Yes THAT I did too for awhile.
Low self esteem then but not today.
Having lived twenty years on my own,
11 years in California.
I had to become assertive.

being done to you.

Can see how you might question yourself at the beginning but you seem like a smart lady. I KNOW you figured out what was going on. Then it's all about how YOU react. Accept or reject. I reject.

I was only fourteen years old when we met so what did I know.
My dad taught his kids preached it so often;
"Think further than your nose is long"
Combine this with having an analyzing mind, it helped to come to
conclusions.

I have had the best do that to me and it was my mom while growing up, so no one can play that game on me now.
I see it for what it is and I don't want any part of it, they can't phase me. So they are totally SOL on that game with me.wine

Someone can only put me on a guilt trip only if I let them. I refuse to let anyone do that to me.

Yes too believe the possibility that someone would try to do this
to you, is not always easy to spot and when you do, you can't believe
someone could be sooo mean.
What did you ever do to them that you deserved this?
Most likely, not a thing!
Remember it is them, not you!

thumbs up
Guilt trips are a part manipulation games, I did a very good thread on Manipulation recently and if you learn all of the symptoms and game plans you will learn about this game.
Guilt trips are to weaken you, or to manipulate you into feeling what the manipulator wants you to feel. Usually there's more than a guilt trip going on.
But I have been around a few that do just that one. It is a way of knocking others down, so that one doing it, can feel better about their own self and they enjoy hurting others with it. There are different levels some are really mean with it and some are just doing minor amount but it all boils down to controlling someone or hurting them. And its all about manipulation to get what ever they will get out of it. Thats the best I can tell you about it.

livinglarge: Oh yikes , you came through an awful lot !! Fair play to you.


Adversity builts character.
It never did me any harm, sometimes you have to get
through things so you can face anything, that my come at you later.
The one thing I had to guard myself against is; too never allow myself too become hard or bitter.
I took instead to humour.
My slightly sarcastic sense of humour has kept my
balance.

Yep I agree , I don't ever want to get bitter , it will only harm me in the end , no matter what I can still be me , what I say is I am always there for me!
My friends can't be with me 24/7 and neither can my family , so sometimes I have to lean totaly on myself and thats ok to.
