Guilt no more

Guilt as a weapon no longer works on me, i think it’s because I have dealt with so many people who have tried to use it as one. Growing up it was my family, then my employees, and always the news, trying to control or manipulate by making me feel bad. If someone try’s now, unless it actually makes sense based off an experience where I really did do something, I won’t let them guilt me and I’ll call out the exact Behaviour their trying.

Could also be because I’ve learned more healthy ways of dealing with situations. I can’t say that I haven’t used guilt myself, albeit most often disguised in humor.

What do you say , when you're calling out the behaviour?

I will basically read off like a stenographer how our interaction went up to the moment where guilt was introduced to manipulate me. Sometimes it gets a smirk like they know their caught or they double down and just repeat themselves @Iwillwait
