What the heck does it mean when someone keeps saying things that contradict?

Like one second they're praising you, the next they're accusing you. One moment they're calm, the next they're angry. They ask you to tell them things, then get mad at what you say. Nothing makes sense, what is that?

I have finally learned that when I hear myself say that I'm confused, while trying to make sense of a person's incongruent and contradictory words/actions... I know I'm being manipulated.

@StarLily it's blowing my mind it a manipulation tactic. It makes me feel like nothing when they do it.

@MarbleMarvel Yep, that's how it makes me feel too.
I had to learn the same lesson many, many times until I finally realized that the biggest clue that I'm being manipulated, is feeling confused. Please be careful, listen and trust yourself... truth + honesty = clarity, not confusion.
