Some people are more at risk of being emotionally blackmailed than others.
You are more at risk if:
- you are kind and loving
- you like to help others and try to make them feel good
- you always put yourself in other people's shoes
- you have a lot of empathy for others
- you have trouble saying no in general
- you hate others being mad at you or even worse - dissapointed in you
- you often feel guilty for not doing/being more
- you usually put others first and often forget about yourself
- you often believe you're not good enough
- you want to be liked and accepted
Does any of these things ring true?
If so - than you are at risk of being emotionally blackmailed.
Emotional blackmailers especially love people who have a sense of responsibility for others and their wellbeing. They love people who feel things deeply - especially those who easily feel guilty.
Why?
Because they know exactly how to pressure them into saying yes.

Hi, I’m Katja, a psychologist from Slovenia.
Also known as a NO-FLUFF therapist, because I don't believe in generic advice, such as 'just believe in yourself', 'follow your heart' etc. Sure, it sounds nice, but it doesn't actually help you. Instead I love practical solutions and proven techniques that actually work.
As a psychologist and psychotherapist I'm especially passionate about helping people skyrocket their self-esteem, helping them let go of their unnecessary guilt, end emotional drama and create genuine and loving relationships.
